London Paramount is another major potential investment which could bring up to 15 million visitors a year to the area. I am delighted to hear that Lafarge Tarmac has now agreed a deal with London Resort Company Holdings to sell their land in the Swancombe Peninsula in north Kent, which is needed for the creation of this entertainment resort.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to encouraging investors, Government is itself providing funding for a number of major projects in the area.

Each organisation receiving funding has a grant agreement against which it is monitored to ensure that agreed milestones are met. Funding for a project ceases on the date set out in the grant agreement, or earlier if the organisation concerned fails to meet requirements set out in that agreement.</p> answering member constituency Bristol West answering member printed Stephen Williams grouped question UIN 222233 222234 question first answered 02/02/2015 16:46:53 answering member 1492 label Biography information for Stephen Williams
