	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text <p>In 2013, £4.1 million was withdrawn from European Regional Development Fund allocations, which represents a tiny proportion of the total £2.74 billion budget. All spending of taxpayers’ money must ensure value for money and money should not be spent on poor quality projects. In addition, all spending must comply with complex EU rules, or else risk “financial corrections” down the line.</p><p> </p><p>The European Regional Development Fund is a circular programme. UK taxpayers’ money is given to the European Union budget. Under the Fund, a local project receives a contract, spends money and then claims from DCLG. DCLG then claims funds back from the European Commission. The whole process goes through a complex auditing process involving DCLG auditors and then European Union auditors. After a period of time, the majority of unspent funding is returned to the UK Government by the European Commission. We continue to have concerns over the bureaucratic and time consuming nature of the related processes involved in the programme.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Kris Hopkins question first answered 22/10/2014 16:19:41 answering member 4043 label Biography information for Kris Hopkins
