This can be due to a number of reasons, such as a changing market outlook or a reorganisation of their own future planned investment priorities. In all cases all the money awarded to the project and programme is recycled back into the Fund so that other companies can benefit from the support of the RGF.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Tunbridge Wells answering member printed Greg Clark question first answered 24/02/2015 11:18:11 answering member 1578 label Biography information for Greg Clark previous answer version 41818 answering member constituency Tunbridge Wells answering member printed Greg Clark answering member 1578 label Biography information for Greg Clark
