We have also provided £1.6m to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to encourage more women in rural areas to start and grow their own businesses and have provided £1m to fund the Women in Broadband Challenge Fund to support women to move their businesses online.</p><p> </p><p>Women are also benefiting from the full range of business support available from government, including Start-Up Loans where 37% of lending has gone to women.</p> answering member constituency East Dunbartonshire answering member printed Jo Swinson question first answered 16/01/2015 09:10:39 answering member 1513 label Biography information for Jo Swinson
