Transport, Local Government and the Regions written question – answered at on 6 November 2001.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what proportion of funding for regional chambers in England came from central Government for (a) last year and (b) this financial year; and what the projected apportionment is for the next financial year.
The Government provided no funding to the regional chambers in 2000–01. For 2001–02 we have allocated £500,000 to each regional chamber, with an additional £1 million for chambers to use collectively, to help them establish a stronger strategic and scrutiny role within the regions. As the total budgets of the chambers are a matter for the chambers themselves, information on the proportion represented by Government funding is not available centrally.
