Proceeding contribution from Tom Blenkinsop (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Growth White Paper.


Local Growth White Paper

At present, £1.9 billion of England's European regional development fund pot is still there to be spent, but in order to be drawn down, ERDF cash must be matched by other public or private sector funding, which was co-ordinated through the RDAs. I have been looking through the Minister's booklet today and there is no clarification of the new structure. It states:"““The new delivery structure will be announced at Budget 2011.””" As the coalition has placed a freeze on RDA spending beyond March 2011, including match funding, can the Minister please clarify how we are to draw down crucial ERDF funds for places such as Teesside?
