Proceeding contribution from Catherine McKinnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Economic Growth and Employment.


Economic Growth and Employment

I reiterate the point about the expertise that has been lost due to the abolition of the RDAs, but also the European regional development fund is another vital source of money for businesses. Millions of pounds, particularly in the north-east, remain unspent, and only one fund, from the regional growth fund in Manchester, has been used as match funding for ERD funding. That is a huge waste of important business support that could be going to people throughout the country.
