HC Deb 15 October 2001 vol 372 c986W
Mr. Waterson

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans she has to publish an Enterprise Bill; and if she will make a statement. [7560]

Miss Melanie Johnson

The two White Papers "Productivity and Enterprise: A World Class Competition Regime" and "Productivity and Enterprise: Insolvency—A Second Chance" published on 31 July, set out the Government's proposals for a series of radical pro-enterprise reforms to competition and bankruptcy rules.

The Government are committed to implementing these White Papers, and we have invited views on our proposals. Proposals for an Enterprise Bill were included in the Queen's speech in June of this year.
