§ Dr. CableTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what financial assistance was allocated to(a) Northern Ireland,(b) Wales,(c) England and(d) Scotland as part of Consignia's Urban Network Reinvention Programme; and if she will make a statement. [83655]
§ Mr. TimmsUnlike the schemes to improve and sustain post offices in deprived urban areas for which separate funding provision has been made for England and for each of the three devolved Administrations, Post Office Ltd.'s Urban Network Reinvention Programme is a single UK-wide programme. Neither the Government nor Post Office Ltd. have pre-allocated funds for the Urban Reinvention programme to countries or regions within the UK.
