Innovation Districts support innovation and commercialisation by facilitating knowledge sharing, collaboration, commercialisation of R&D outcomes, innovation promotion and business support.<\/p>
Knowledge Quarter Liverpool brings together the City's key partners to collaborate in a creative environment. The Paddington Village site will attract a further £1 billion to the city, and house 1.8m sq. ft of science, technology, education and health space.<\/p>
UK Government is supporting new Innovation Districts to form across the Union. For example, Innovation City Belfast will seek to maximise the impact of the planned £1 billion Belfast Region City Deal which will invest £230 million in university research centres and £120 million in digital innovation.<\/p>
Therefore, while current contributions have been important, the next 10-15 years are where the true contribution will be seen, and we welcome the future impact of innovation districts.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4450", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Luke Hall"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thornbury and Yate"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Luke Hall"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-09-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-09-06T13:14:45.16Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-07-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Innovation: Economic Growth"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the contribution of innovation districts to local economic growth.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4253", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Seema Malhotra"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Feltham and Heston"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Seema Malhotra"} ], "uin" : "37477"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1349407", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1349407/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Government policy is to continue to be very selective about calling in planning applications and, in general, only if planning issues of more than local importance are involved.<\/p>
This application was considered against the call in policy as set out in the Written Ministerial Statement of 26 October 2012, special report<\/em>, Column 72WS<\/a>, and after carefully considering the issues raised, it was decided that intervention would not be justified.<\/p>"}

The increased Local Housing Allowance rates alongside the wider package of economic support measures introduced by the Government during the pandemic have effectively prevented a widespread build up of rent arrears, by supporting private renters to continue paying their rent.
