Mr. Edward Davey

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what funding was provided(a) by his Department in total and (b) through non-departmental public bodies to each Urban Regeneration Company for 2003–04; and what funding is projected in each case for 2004–05. [156475]

Yvette Cooper

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister does not provide funding directly to any Urban Regeneration Company (URC) All funding is provided by the partners in each URC. This usually comprises the local Regional Development Agency (RDA), the local authority or authorities, and English Partnerships (EP). The table below shows the estimated revenue funding provided/projected by EP and the various RDAs to the individual URCs for 2003–04 and 2004–05. Funding for development projects is not normally provided to the URCs themselves; expenditure on projects is incurred by the partners on the basis of strategies agreed by the URCs.
