Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to line 20, table 2.1, of the March Budget 2021, what level of funding has been allocated to each (a) region of England and (b) devolved nation for Help to Grow Management in (i) 2021-22, (ii) 2022-23 and (iii) 2023-24.

Help to Grow: Management will be delivered by business schools across the UK. HM Treasury has provided ringfenced funding to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy for this programme; £62m in 2021-22, £74m in 2022-23, and £87m in 2023-24.

We are committed to ensuring that all regions and nations in the UK benefit from Help to Grow: Management. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy will determine the funding that is allocated to each business school – and thereby to each region and devolved nation – in collaboration with its delivery partner, the Chartered Association of Business Schools.
