Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 19 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Services (Social Enterprise and Social Value) Bill.
Public Services (Social Enterprise and Social Value) Bill
My hon. Friend is absolutely right, and we all have examples from our constituencies of businesses that started very small and have become quite large. One such business in my constituency makes organic baby food, and now supplies it to major national retailers. It was based on the idea of an entrepreneur who asked, ““Why are we not ensuring that people can guarantee that their children are being fed wholesome baby food at the most nutritionally important time of their life?”” That enterprise struck a chord with the consumer, hence its great success. There are a lot of other examples that I will not trouble the House with at the moment.
