	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2017 answer text <p>Projects delivered under the One Public Estate programme deliver a range of benefits, including the creation of jobs. To attribute a benefit to the programme, an OPE partnership must submit evidence that a benefit has been delivered. For example, the evidence base for the creation of jobs can include:</p><p>1) an economic impact assessment supporting a planning application</p><p>2) a construction plan</p><p>3) an extract from the tender for a building contract</p><p>This is not an exhaustive list of suitable evidence. One Public Estate works with OPE partnerships to use the most suitable means of determining jobs created, dependent on the nature of individual projects.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 18/10/2017 13:17:12 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
