HL Deb 22 July 2004 vol 664 c84WA
Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What were the relative contributions of each government department to the single funding programme for the London Development Agency. [HL3861]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The 2002 Spending Review White Paper announced that various departments would be contributing to the single pot as set out below. During the course of the financial year 2004–05 these figures will change, for example, to take account of end year flexibility.

Department Single Pot Contributions (£millions) Single Pot Contributions (%)
Department of Trade and Industry (Including UK Trade and Investment) 236 12.6
Department for Culture, Media and Sport 2 0.1
Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs 46 2.5
Department for Education and Skills 42 2.2
Office of the Deputy Prime Minister 1,552 82.6
Total 1,878 100

Single pot money is allocated between regions according to a funding formula. Under the formula the London Development Agency does not receive funding for deprived rural areas, which is provided to the single budget by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
