answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2015 answer text The EU Court of Auditors estimates that a move to a “single seat” for the European Parliament would save €113 million a year, while the European Parliament’s own “Single Seat” campaign estimates the saving at about €180 million a year, and a reduction of the EP’s carbon footprint by 40%. The UK welcomes the support from within the European Parliament for the move to a single seat and hopes that Members of the European Parliament push this issue up the political agenda. The UK’s position is well known: we are in favour of a single seat. The current arrangements are expensive, impractical and indefensible on environmental grounds. Moving to a single seat would require Treaty change and the agreement of all Member States. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 24/03/2015 14:53:59 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2015 answer text <p>This Government is supportive of local efforts to promote growth and very aware that roads play a vital part in driving growth. Local areas are best placed to determine what local road schemes should be developed to address local problems. Funding for proposals, such as the North West Relief Road, has now been devolved to the Local Growth Fund. In July 2014 The Marches Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) secured £75.3m from the Government’s Local Growth Fund to support economic growth in the area and in January the LEP agreed an expansion to its growth deal which will see an extra £7.7m invested in the area between 2016 and 2021.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 23/03/2015 14:06:40 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2015 answer text <p>The Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) is a valuable programme that helps viable businesses get access to finance where they have insufficient security or an inadequate track record. Since launch, EFG has supported SMEs by enabling over 23,000 loans with a total value of some £2.4bn (as at 31 December 2014) and has a significant wider economic benefit. Funding for up to a further £500 million of lending was made available for 2015/16 in the 2014 Autumn Statement.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Following evidence of concerns of lending by the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in August 2014, the Department asked RBS to instigate an internal review into this issue. The findings of that review and a proposed course of action were presented at a meeting with the British Business Bank in December 2014, and senior executives from RBS met my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills on 14 January 2015. I have asked the British Business Bank – which now administers the programme on behalf of the Department – to continue to closely monitor the action being taken by RBS to address these issues. I have been given assurance from RBS that they will put right any cases where they are at fault to ensure that no detriment is suffered by either the borrower or the taxpayer.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 03/03/2015 11:24:40 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
