E-projects (Funding)

Question: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will list the projects for e-enabling parish councils and local community groups that his Department is funding; what the (a) central funding and (b) partnership contribution is for each project; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's Local e-Government programme does not directly support the e-enablement of parish councils and local community groups. However, through a number of projects we have funded, local authorities have been given the tools to support their local groups. Local authorities are encouraged to do so through the Local e-Gov Priority Outcomes guidance as part of their community leadership role.The five projects we funded are:

	Name of project	Area of interest	ODPM stream of funding (£)	Partnership contribution (£)
2005–06	Local Directgov—workstream 2	Neighbourhoods and parish councils	350,000	n/a
2005–06	East of England Regional Partnership	E-enabling Parish Councils	300,000	n/a
2004–05	ENCORE—workstream 4	E-Community Services	531,200	n/a
