Question
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what discussions has he had with the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership on devolving powers and responsibilities from central government.
This question was answered on 8th July 2014
I met with the Coventry and Warwickshire LEP on 24 March to sign the City Deal, and we have now agreed a Growth Deal with Coventry and Warwickshire LEP.
The deal has secured £74m from the Government's Local Growth Fund to support economic growth in the area – with nearly £14m of new funding confirmed for 2015/16. This includes projects such as a new grow-on space for innovative businesses at Ansty Park near Rugby.
