High House Production Park

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what information his Department holds on how much money was transferred to the Board of Trustees of the High House Production Park on the closure of the Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation.

Answer: No money was paid to the Board of Trustees of the High House Production Park by the Development Corporation on its closure. However, over the financial year to 31 March 2012 just over £5.5 million had been paid by the Corporation to the Production Park, nearly all of which was in order to fund the Development Corporation's agreed contribution to the construction of the National Skills Academy for Creative and Cultural Skills and the creation of Artist Studios on the site.
