- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many projects each regional development agency has funded under the (a) Axis 1, (b) Axis 3 and (c) Leader sections of the England Rural Development Programme since 1 January 2007, broken down by projects budgeted at (i) up to £5,000, (ii) £5,001 to £100,000, (iii) £100,001 to £1,000,000 and (iv) over £1,000,000.
- Answer
-
Commitments to new projects under Axis 1, 3 and the Leader Axis of the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) only commenced in January 2008 following EU approval of the new programme. Since 1 October 2006, payments have also been made by regional development agencies (RDAs) to projects that were the legacy of the previous England Rural Development Programme (ERDP), funding for which came from the new RDPE budget. That programme closed for new applications in June 2006.It should also be noted that the RDAs are using a strategic investment approach to delivering the new programme, which includes supporting larger programmes of activity as well as individual projects. Some of the larger programmes will result in further project development and funding.The following table gives the information on projects which have received, or been approved, for funding, and includes ERDP legacy payments made after 1 January 2007.
