Government Offices for the Regions: Expenditure

Volume 487: debated on Thursday 29 January 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government which programme budgets were administered by the Government offices for the regions in 2007-08, broken down by sponsoring Department; and what the amount of each was. (252387)

The Government offices do not undertake an annual exercise to collect information on the programme budgets administered on behalf of sponsor Departments. No information is therefore available for 2007-08.

The most recent year in which information on programme budgets was collected was in 2006-07 when the figures were as follows:
