Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many businesses have annual employment costs of (a) £3 million to £20 million, (b) £20 million to £40 million and (c) more than £40 million; and what the total employment costs are for businesses in each of those categories.

The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority. I have therefore asked the Authority to respond.
