The tables below provide a breakdown of the value of Regional Growth Fund (RGF) by region and round for RGF applications; the committed allocation of RGF to projects and programmes following due diligence. This data excludes those projects and programmes that have withdrawn. The third table sets out the amount drawn down by operational RGF awards to date and the financial years in which the remaining RGF and eRGF is committed through to 31st<\/sup> March 2017. The data is correct as at 2nd<\/sup> October 2014.<\/p>

<\/p>

Projects and programmes in Rounds 1 to 4 have until 31 March 2015 to draw down their funding and projects and programmes in Round 5 will be able to draw down funding until 31 March 2017. The Department agrees a draw down profile with each organisation when they sign their grant offer letter that matches the beneficiary\u2019s own investment schedules and job commitments. The subsequent rate of draw down is then subject to the beneficiaries meeting the conditions.<\/p>

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) undertook an assessment in relation to Sunday Trading legislation which was published in May 2012 alongside the Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Bill, though this was not a formal impact assessment. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) looked at retail trade evidence during the Olympics suspension.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Prior to this BIS carried out a thorough review of the 1994 legislation (including a consultation and an independent economic cost benefit analysis) in 2006.<\/p>

Delivery of the Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) scheme is devolved to the participating lenders, all of which are subject to a continuous cycle of independent external audit to monitor their compliance in their operation of the scheme. Some of the larger lenders have supplemented this process with their own internal reviews. The British Business Bank will continue to monitor the findings of these exercises closely.<\/p>

The Department requires all lenders participating in the EFG scheme to give clear and accurate information to borrowers. In February 2014 BIS wrote to all lenders participating in the EFG scheme reiterating their operational responsibilities, including the way in which it is presented to their front line staff and customers.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4070", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Matt Hancock"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Suffolk"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Matthew Hancock"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-01T13:07:38.2270972Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "26"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Innovation and Skills"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Innovation and Skills"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what investigations he has made into allegations of mis-selling relating to loans made under the Enterprise Finance Guarantee scheme; and when such investigations were initiated.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4128", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chuka Umunna"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Streatham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Chuka Umunna"} ], "uin" : "206270"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/78342", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/78342/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
