HL Deb 10 September 2003 vol 652 cc120-1WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President on 17 June (WA 88) concerning Peace II implementing bodies, which are the 47 bodies; on what basis they are selected; and by whom. [HL3827]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

Within Northern Ireland, the 47 Peace II Implementing Bodies are made up of: the Special EU Programmes Body; 8 government departments; 12 intermediary funding bodies; and 26 local strategy partnerships. A full list of the 47 implementing bodies in Northern Ireland is attached below.

In accordance with the horizontal principles written into the Peace II Operational Programme the implementing bodies selected were those which are best placed to deliver the objectives of the programme by virtue of their scale, expertise or the nature of their activities.

The role of the Special EU Programmes Body and government departments as implementing bodies was established through a consultative process with local partners in the development of the programme. The 12 intermediary funding bodies (IFBs) were selected by an open competitive tendering process. Local strategy partnerships are situated in each of the 26 district council areas and each partnership was subject to local agreement between the four social partners, local government and the main statutory agencies operating at the local level.
