Proceeding contribution from Catherine McKinnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Autumn Statement.

Autumn Statement

I am concerned that the Chancellor might be missing a trick. Hundreds of millions of pounds of European regional development funding are waiting to be drawn down by the UK, including £100 million for the north-east alone. Is the Government's failure to take steps to secure match funding—for example, through the regional growth fund—a deliberate policy or simply an oversight?
