Gloria De Piero – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

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 and what proportion of small and medium-sized businesses were registered in each parliamentary constituency; and what the equivalent figures were in each of the last five years.

Michael Fallon

There is no central register of businesses. Companies House does have a register of companies but it cannot determine the number of companies classified as small and medium sized as defined by the Companies Act 2006. Information on companies registered in each parliamentary constituency could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
