HC Deb 11 January 2000 vol 342 cc110-1W
15. Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on the impact of the Single Regeneration Budget in tackling disadvantage in the West Midlands. [103266]

Ms Armstrong

There has not been a central Government evaluation of the impact of the Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) in the West Midlands. However, the national evaluation of the first two rounds of the SRB includes case studies on two West Midlands SRB partnerships—the West Midlands Industrial Club and Regenerating Wolverhampton.
