report on this activity, showing the number of businesses assisted overall and the annual expenditure on the programmes they delivered as a whole. Providing any further information, at the level of detail requested, would require extensive research into Yorkshire Forward's records which are now held in BIS archive. This would incur disproportionate cost.

The regional development agencies delivered extremely poor value for money from their inflated taxpayer-funded budgets. Covering the sprawling Government office regions, they were distant and remote from local business, and the arbitrary regions had no connection with natural economic areas. Their boards were packed with quangocrats and trade unionists, rather than entrepreneurs. Their remit was too broad and unfocused, and they answered to the tune of Whitehall targets not the views and needs of local enterprise.
Local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) have been set up in place of RDAs; these will bring together businesses and local authorities to determine local economic priorities and undertake activities to drive economic growth and the creation of local jobs, including within the creative industries.
The Government fully recognises the value of the creative industries. These sectors have a key role in growing our economy and contributing to British culture and we are determined to work closely with partners, including LEPs, to create the best possible environment to support business growth.

That this House believes that Government plans to devolve crucial expenditure and development power to local enterprise partnerships is intrinsically flawed; agrees that while increased decentralisation towards local areas is welcome the process needs to be fully transparent; notes that the Sustainable Communities Act 2007 requires that the Government provides this through local annual spending reports so that informed decisions can be taken; and further believes that these decisions cannot properly be taken because the Government has failed to produce these local spending reports.

[holding answer 29 November 2012]: There are 336 individual land and property assets remaining within the stewardship of the Homes and Communities Agency that have not yet been disposed of by the agency. A table showing the breakdown of these assets by former regional development agency and asset name has been placed in the Library of the House.
This list, which includes assorted pubs, an ice rink, a cinema, a greyhound stadium and even a fish and chip shop, reflects the widespread land-banking by the regional development agencies under the last Administration. This lack of strategic focus did not necessarily make good use of taxpayers' money, and this Administration is seeking to ensure the best rate of return for taxpayers from these residual assets.
