To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much funding has been granted under the Local Enterprise Growth Initiative in each (a) local authority and (b) lower layer super output area in each year since 2000. (318265)

The Local Enterprise Growth Initiative follows closely the principles of devolution and provides eligible local authorities with the authority, freedom and flexibility to best determine the local needs and options, and use the funding in creative ways to support local priorities. Information is therefore not available for each lower layer super output area (LSOA).

I have placed in the Library of the House a table which provides details of LEGI allocations by local authority.
