Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many businesses in the hospitality sector have signed up to the Help to grow scheme.

The Help to Grow Scheme is open to SMEs that meet the eligibility criteria, from all sectors from across the UK.

Businesses that express an interest in the Help to Grow: Digital programme are not required to identify the sector they are in.

On the Help to Grow: Management programme side, to date, 143 SMEs within the hospitality sector have registered for the programme.

BEIS will continue to analyse the characteristics of businesses as part of the Help to Grow scheme to support monitoring and evaluation.
