§ Mr. Liddell-GraingerTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister what plans there are to help with match funding in areas that receive Objective 2 funding. [83388]
§ Mr. McNultyThere are a large number of potential sources of match funding in Objective 2 areas. In addition to central Government programmes such as the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund, other sources are also available including the RDA single pot, local authorities, voluntary and community sector and private sector sources also provide match funding. A publication listing out the many sources of match funding is widely circulated by Government Offices.
Clearly as and when new Government programmes are introduced, they can provide additional sources of match funding for projects.
