Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much and what proportion of the total fund each Local Enterprise Partnership has been allocated from the Growing Places Fund in each year since the introduction of that scheme.

The £730 million Growing Places Fund (GPF) was distributed to Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP) in England as a one-off payment. The payments were made in February and March 2012 under a section 31 grant. Details of the proportion of the fund paid out to each LEP is available on the Department for Communities and Local Government website.
