§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many new businesses were set up in 1993 and 1994.
§ Mr. RichardsComprehensive information on the number of new business start-ups in Wales is not available. However, partial information is available from VAT data, though this excludes smaller new business start-ups. This shows that during 1993, the latest year for which data is available, there were some 7,200 registrations for VAT in Wales.
