Regeneration: Finance

Volume 459: debated on Thursday 26 April 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much regeneration money has been spent in each constituency since 1997; and what studies have been undertaken to gauge its effectiveness. (134035)

The Department does not record information on regeneration spending by parliamentary constituency and this information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

We are committed to understanding the effectiveness of our regeneration programmes and have commissioned a wide range of evaluations in support of this. Evaluations completed or underway include the single regeneration budget, coalfields regeneration programmes, housing market renewal pathfinders and the new deal for communities.

Details of research and evaluation commissioned by Communities and Local Government are available from our research management database (RMD) at:
