Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government which Local Enterprise Partnerships were unsuccessful in bids for funding from the Regional Growth Fund; and what is the breakdown of reasons for those bids not succeeding.

The six rounds of the Regional Growth Fund were run on a competitive basis. The bids submitted in each of the various rounds were made in confidence due to the commercially sensitive information specific to the bid. We therefore do not disclosure information on unsuccessful bids.
