Question
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what guidance the Minister of State for Cities and Constitution has given to local enterprise partnerships on informing (a) district councils and (b) hon. Members about Growth Deal schemes before briefing the media; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 10th July 2014
Growth Deals are negotiated between the Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships. It was for every Local Enterprise Partnership to determine who to contact in advance of the announcement of their Deal.
I wrote to all hon. Members with constituencies in England on the morning of 7 July, the day of the Growth Deals announcement, setting out full details of the Growth Deal in their area.
