Debate between Lord Flight and Lord Henley

Monday 20th November 2017 Lords Chamber

[Lord Flight (Con)]

My Lords, do the Government accept the enormous help provided to entrepreneurship by the Government’s EIS scheme, which I think has raised some £16 billion of risk capital? It is the envy of Europe. I declare my interest as chairman of the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association.

[Lord Henley]

I welcome what my noble friend has to say and I hope that noble Lords on the other side of the House take note of it.
