The CPS does not centrally record how many of these apprentices were previously employed by the Government. To obtain this information would require a manual check of application forms which would incur a disproportionate cost.<\/p>

There are currently three apprentices working in the Serious Fraud Office and two in the remaining Law Officer\u2019s Departments, however in order to protect individual\u2019s personal data we are unable to provide any details of age or employment history, as the small numbers involved could lead to individuals being identified.<\/p>

£1.73 billion has been allocated to Programmes across Rounds 1-6 of the Regional Growth Fund and exceptional Regional Growth Fund. The tables show how much of that money has been drawn down to date. All data is correct at 24 March 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Unless otherwise agreed, 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 and 6 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 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 for all Round 1-5 programmes following due diligence and Round 6 projects and programmes that are subject to contract discussions. This data excludes those projects and programmes that have withdrawn.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 31 March 2017. The data is correct at 24 March 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Unless otherwise agreed, 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 and 6 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.
