Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade (Gareth Thomas)

The Government continue to support entrepreneurs through, for example, start-up loans via the British Business Bank. We will publish our small business strategy later this year, which will signal a clear, overarching ambition to promote entrepreneurship, and will articulate a new vision for business support, built around the new business growth service that I have alluded to.
