The below Parliamentary question was asked by Gloria De Piero on 2014-04-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how many businesses are registered in each constituency; and how many businesses were so registered in each of the last five years.

Michael Fallon

Companies House cannot identify the number of new businesses registered in each constituency, as there is no central register of businesses.

Companies House does have a register of companies but information on companies registered in each constituency could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
