Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Employment, Universities and Skills and Housing.
Employment, Universities and Skills and Housing
What small businesses want in the immediate term is access to credit and some of the assistance that the Chancellor announced in the pre-Budget report. Over the past few days, I and my office have been whirligigging around regional development agencies, banks and Business Links, trying to discover who actually has information about the Chancellor's announcements. The last response—today—was from London Business Link:"““As discussed, I do not have any substantial information on the new funding scheme for SMEs and will send you any information I receive from our research team.””" Even though Business Link knew that the debate was taking place today, it could not tell Members how small businesses will be able to access the money announced by the Chancellor in the pre-Budget report.
