Written Question
Self-employed
Tuesday 15th March 2016

Asked by: David Rutley (Conservative - Macclesfield)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what steps he is taking to support self-employed people.

Answered by Anna Soubry

The New Enterprise Allowance and Start Up Loan Schemes are making it easier for people to move into self-employment. Help is available from local growth hubs and the Business Support Helpline. Julie Deane has conducted an independent review into what more can be done to support the self-employed. Her report was published in February and we will respond in due course.
