Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government which organisations received a financial benefit from the recent pop-up shop at Eland house.

[135397]

Answer

The pop-up shop at Eland house is operated by StartUp Britain, a not for profit company launched by the Prime Minister on 28 March 2011. Over the coming year, the shop will offer up to 150 entrepreneurs the chance to sell their British-made products over a two-week period. The tenant retailers will keep all of the profit from their sales, with any surplus rental income being recycled to fund pop-up shops elsewhere in the UK.

I would be delighted to invite the hon. Member to join me for a tour of the pop-up shop early this year.
