Graham Stuart, MP for Beverley and Holderness today welcomed an additional £30 million boost to Start-Up Loans to create thousands of new businesses, and help youngpeople find jobs in East Yorkshire. Graham Stuart said, “We still have a long way to go to rebalance our economy, but this is yet another step in the right direction by the Government. It is exactly this sort of action that has led to the creation of a million new private sector jobs in the last two years, as we get to grips with our deficit and get our economy back on track.” The Prime Minister’s announcement brings the total pot for Start-Up Loans to more than £110 million over the next three years with the age range extended to 30 years old, enabling more people to take advantage of this fund.
