answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2016 answer text <p>Our policy is that every coastal community should have the chance to bid for a share of the Coastal Communities Fund to help them with projects that will have a real and lasting impact on their local economy. The 118 Coastal Community Teams (CCTs) in England now provide an important new local context for considering these bids, so that the Fund helps to deliver community-led Economic Plans. Each bid is considered on its merits and allocating the Fund to regions on the basis of their population share would not necessarily ensure best value for money.</p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 26/05/2016 16:37:39 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
