To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how many applications to the Regional Growth Fund were submitted in each local authority area since the inception of that Fund; and what proportion of those applications were approved.
This question was answered on 16th February 2015
The employment effects of each Regional Growth Fund project and programme are spread across many local authorities. The tables attached show the number of bids to the Regional Growth Fund, and the number approved, for each region of England in bidding rounds 1-6.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 14 October 2014 to Question UIN 206062, which provides a breakdown of the value of bids received by region for Rounds 1-5.
