Malcolm Bruce: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many businesses have been assisted by Enterprise Grants; and to what value in each (a) region and (b) constituency since 2000. [200539] Nigel Griffiths: The number of Enterprise Grants awarded and the value of payments made in each region from 2000 are as follows: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. April 2000 to March 2004 Region Number of grants awarded Value of payments (£000) East 47 764 East Midlands 233 4560 London 48 950 North East 416 8652 North West 461 8317 South East 152 2586 South West 92 1423 West Midlands 255 5205 Yorkshire and Humber 349 6931 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. The number of businesses assisted may be slightly lower than the number of grants awarded as a small number of businesses may have received more than one grant. Corresponding data for each constituency are not readily available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. As organisations work across constituency boundaries, it is not possible to provide information on a constituency basis.

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how much money her Department has spent on the South Hampshire Priority Area for Economic Regeneration in (a) 2001-02, (b) 2002-03 and (c) 2003-04; and how much is budgeted to be spent in (i) 2004-05 and (ii) 2005-06. [165319] Jacqui Smith: [holding answer 1 April 2004]: The DTI, alongside a number of other Government Departments, funds the South East of England Development Agency (SEEDA) to catalyse and carry out economic development and regeneration activities in the South East region. Funds are provided to SEEDA as a Single Budget and it is not possible to separate out DTI funded activity within the Agency's work. Activity by the Agency is however very relevant to the DTIs economic development objectives and is an important element of spend in the South Hampshire Priority Area for Economic Regeneration. SEEDA's priority areas are based on Regional Planning Guidance (RPG) 9. SEEDA has spent some £34 million in 2001-02, £32.6 million in 2002-03, and £20.4 million in 2003-04 in the South Hampshire Priority Area for Regeneration, which for RPG purposes includes Portsmouth, Southampton, Fareham, Gosport, Havant and Eastleigh. Known allocated spend in 2004-05 will be in the order of £10 million with further expenditure of around £9 million in 2005-06. The amount spent may, however, vary from this, for example, because of land and property spend in 2005-06 for which there is not a current estimate. Future expenditure will be determined through the Area Investment Framework process which the Agency has developed, which defines local priorities and brings together not just SEEDA funding but multiple mainstream funding streams. Besides this, investment made directly by the Department of Trade and Industry in the area is as follows. £ _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 Smart and Enterprise Grant 485,754 1,007,191 332,605 76,000 51,000 Knowledge Transfer 25,500 20,000 77,000 76,000 51,000 Partnerships (following on from the Teaching Company Scheme) _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Phoenix Fund A sum of £839,000 has been allocated from the Phoenix Fund for two projects in the area within the period. This grant is not annualised but is drawn down as spent. Small Firms Loan Guarantee In addition the Small Firms Loan Guarantee (SFLG) guaranteed 38 loans in the year 2001-02 valued at £2.15 million, 37 loans in 2002-02 valued at £2.9 million and 66 loans in 2003-04 valued at £4 million. These figures do not equate to spend. Government expenditure only arises if there is a subsequent default and the guarantee is called upon. Figures for future years are not available as SFLG is demand led. Business Link Wessex Spend in South Hampshire by Business Link Wessex on providing business support to SMEs is approximately £1.3 million per year for the years 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04. Expenditure in 2004-05 will be of the same order. The budget for 2005-06 is not yet firm.

Mr. Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the percentage take up has been of each of her enterprise initiatives in the past three years. [71668] Nigel Griffiths: DTI promotes enterprise and assists enterprises in many ways. These are set out in "The Government's Expenditure Plans report for 2002-03 to 2003-04" (Cmnd 5416). Business Link Operators (BLOs) assisted almost 245,000 separate businesses during 2001-02 this represents a penetration rate of almost 14 per cent. In addition, BLOs helped on average almost 21,000 pre-starts. Since October 1999, around 8,500 pre and early start businesses have received support from BLOs to assist them to reach their high growth potential. The Small Business Service supporting 96 Phoenix Development Fund projects in disadvantaged areas and amongst under-represented groups with a budget of £30 million. So far over 8,700 people have been assisted, enabling the start-up of over 400 new enterprises and creating or safeguarding more than 1,600 jobs. SBS has supported over 800 (a record number) new Smart projects this year, worth over £34 million. The Scheme provides grants to help research and develop technologically innovative products and processes or buy external consultancy to improve their use and exploitation of technology. Smart now contributes half a billion pounds to the economy annually (source: Smart Evaluation published October 2001); and Finally, The Small Firms Loan Guarantee Scheme, which offers guarantees on loans to small firms with viable business proposals that are unable to obtain conventional finance because they lack security to offer against a loan, passed the £3 billion lending mark earlier this year. Since the start of the Scheme in June 1981 over 81,000 loans have been guaranteed. A quarterly Management Information Report is routinely copied to the Libraries of the House. This report includes the remit and usage of all SBS enterprise initiatives.
