Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (1) how much each local authority in the Thames Gateway spent on regeneration activities in the last 15 years for which figures are available; [201950]

 

(2) how much each local authority in the Thames Gateway spent on economic development activities in each of the last 15 years for which figures are available. [201953]

 

Penny Mordaunt, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government: The information is not centrally held in the form requested and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

 

I would note that many of the local authorities in the Thames Gateway cover an area larger than just the Thames Gateway, and do not split their published expenditure between inside and outside the Thames Gateway.
