Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to reduce the threshold in the Help to Grow: Management scheme from five employees to one to enable more businesses to participate.
The Help to Grow Management programme has been designed to support businesses where we expect to see the biggest impact. There are currently no plans to change the criteria relating to the number of employees, but we will continue to keep the programme under review to ensure that it is able to effectively support businesses and deliver the intended boost to productivity.
