answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2018 answer text <p>The Department has no plans to offer business loans to social security claimants who have a viable business plan for self employment. This type of facility would fall within the remit of the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, who already provide Start-Up loans for new businesses. DWP provides support to benefit claimants through the New Enterprise Allowance, which has supported over 113,000 people to start their own business between April 2011 and December 2017.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 18/09/2018 15:35:29 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
