Letter of correction from Matthew Hancock:

An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Chesterfield (Toby Perkins) on 16 June 2014.

The full answer given was as follows:

Michael Fallon: All loan recipients in all regions receiving a start-up loan are offered mentoring, although take up of support services is not a mandatory condition of making the facility available. The number of loans made in each region will be placed in the Libraries of the House.

The correct answer should have been:

Matthew Hancock: All loan recipients in all regions receiving a start-up loan are offered mentoring, although take up of support services is not a mandatory condition of making the facility available. The number of loans made in each region will be placed in the Libraries of the House.
