§ Mrs. Bridget PrenticeTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many businesses are currently being advised by(a) Business Link London South and (b) Business Link London Central in (i) central London and (ii) the rest of London. [2349]
§ Mr. PageBusiness links are private sector partnerships, not Government bodies. National statistics on business using business link are available in the quarterly "Report on Business Link and Business Link Regional Supply Network Management Information" and a copy has been placed in the Library of the House. Local statistics are a matter for local business link partnerships and I will ensure that the respective chief executives of Business Link London South and Business Link London Central are aware of the hon. Member's question.
