HC Deb 19 July 1994 vol 247 c179W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the business links established, their location, the partners involved in each business link, the current list of applications, the location of the current applications and the partners involved in the current application.

Mr. McLoughlin

Plans have been approved for 33 areas in England, providing for 110 business link outlets. Some 34 business link outlets are currently operational. I expect around 60 business links to be open by the end of the year. The aim is that by the end of 1995, every firm in England will have access to a business link. I have today placed a list of established business links, current applications and partners involved, in the Library of the House.
