I was delighted to see the launch of the Enterprise Zone in Coleraine earlier this year which was made possible thanks to legislation taken forward by the UK Government to allow the Enterprise Zone to benefit from Enhanced Capital Allowances. This is a prime example of how the UK Government can support the devolved regions to boost the economy and drive growth. I am aware that work is ongoing to develop the Coleraine Zone which represents a significant economic opportunity for the area.<\/p>

I am committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure growth and opportunity is shared. Government and business must work together to build an economy that works for everyone, in Northern Ireland and the whole of the United Kingdom.<\/p>

The Government communicates with the Northern Ireland Executive frequently on a wide range of issues.<\/p>

In \u2018Building a United and Prosperous Community\u2019<\/em> (the \u2018Economic Pact\u2019) signed in June 2013, the Government made a commitment to consider any Executive-nominated sites to be designated as an Enterprise Zone. Budget 2014 announced that businesses located within the Executive\u2019s proposed pilot Enterprise Zone near Coleraine could benefit from enhanced capital allowances until 2020.<\/p>

I understand the Executive continues to work towards the implementation of this pilot Enterprise Zone.<\/p>

In Northern Ireland, many of the benefits associated with Enterprise Zones are the devolved responsibility of the Northern Ireland Executive.<\/p>

The 2013 economic pact, Building a Prosperous and United Community<\/em>, indicated that the Government would consider designating a range of sites within any Northern Ireland Enterprise Zone as eligible for Enhanced Capital Allowances, which as part of the UK\u2019s tax system remain a non-devolved responsibility.<\/p>

In March 2014 the NI Executive indicated that it was considering creating a pilot Enterprise Zone near Coleraine. The Government remains open to examining the case for offering Enhanced Capital Allowances at that, or alternative, locations when proposals are brought forward by the Executive.<\/p>

Budget 2014 announced that businesses located within the Executive\u2019s proposed pilot Enterprise Zone near Coleraine will benefit from enhanced capital allowances until 2020. I understand the Executive continues to work towards the implementation of this pilot Enterprise Zone.<\/p>
