Abstract
Enterprise became a key theme in Government policy in the United Kingdom in
the mid 1980s. The early emphasis was on lifting the perceived burden of
governmental bureaucracy on business, especially small business, which was
believed to hinder its development and growth (Cmnd 9571, 1985, Cmnd 9794,
1986). Further initiatives encouraged the “freeing of the people to make fullest use
of their talents to produce the goods and services demanded in the Europe of the
21st Century” (Cmnd 512, 1988 p.i.).
