Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how many new companies were started in Stafford constituency in each of the last two years.
Companies House estimates that, in the Stafford parliamentary constituency area, the number of new companies started is as follows:
