Business of the House

Business question from Mark Pawsey (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 March 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Micro-businesses, which employ up to five people and have a turnover of less than £250,000, constitute the largest number of business units in the UK, but often their owners are not motivated to increase the size of their business. If each micro-business in my constituency took on just one extra employee, however, there would be nobody looking for work in the constituency. Will the Leader of the House make time to consider the role of such businesses in the economy and in stimulating growth?
