Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 30 October 2017 to Question 108119, on job creation: enterprise zones, how many jobs enterprise zones were planned to create in each year since 2013.

We do not collect data on forecast job numbers for Enterprise Zones and do not publish estimates for net additional jobs.

Enterprise Zones are a twenty five year programme to support local economic growth, helping businesses to expand and ensure there is the high quality office and industrial space needed for them to do so. Local Enterprise Partnerships report that since 2012 and up to September 2016, Enterprise Zones had attracted over 822 businesses and more than £3.3 billion in private investment.
