South East England Development Agency

Volume 449: debated on Monday 17 July 2006

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the annual per capita expenditure of the South East England Development Agency has been in each year since its inception in (a) each county and (b) each unitary authority in the South East of England. (84100)

[holding answer 10 July 2006]: The tables show the South East England Development Agency’s (SEEDA) annual spend from 2003 onwards, broken down to a sub regional level.

SEEDA does not provide expenditure breakdowns on the basis of all counties and unitary authorities within the region.

Before the adoption of their current financial records system in 2003, expenditure by specific geographical or administrative areas was not recorded and it is therefore not possible to produce a disaggregated account of SEEDA spend prior to that time.

Much of SEEDA’s spend is allocated across administrative boundaries, and this cannot be disaggregated to local authority boundaries levels.
