Lifting the Barriers to Growth

Barriers to Growth was launched in October 2000 and was until recently the definitive survey of small businesses. "Lifting the Barriers" is the successor and was launched by Nigel Griffiths MP in May 2002. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Small Business stated at the launch "This survey....will form the bedrock of government policy".
