Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intended to carry out a review of the Enterprise Zones established in the UK.

DCLG publishes national and regional performance data collected from Enterprise Zones on a quarterly basis. This data includes jobs attracted as well as investment and the number of business established.

Based on the most recent quarterly monitoring returns, Enterprise Zones have attracted 20,676 jobs including construction jobs, and 566 businesses. This shows a 9 percent increase in jobs growth and a 5 per cent increase in new businesses on the previous quarter. This data is self-reported but all efforts have been made to ensure its accuracy.
