Mr. Salmond
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much funding has been paid to the sustainability fund in each region of the UK from the aggregates levy since the levy was introduced. [127213]
Mr. Morley
The following amounts have been allocated and spent under the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund:
£ million | ||
Region of the UK | Aggregate levy sustainability fund allocation | Aggregate levy sustainability fund spend |
England | 58.6 | 20 |
Wales | 3.4 | 2 |
Scotland | 6 | 2 |
Northern Ireland | 1.9 | Figure unavailable |
Note:
The reason for the Northern Ireland spend figure being unavailable. is due to the fact that their fund was never ring fenced. Therefore there is uncertainty about the exact amount spent on the Fund.
