Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how much each local authority in the Thames Gateway spent on economic development activities in each of the last 15 years for which figures are available.

The information is not centrally held in the form requested and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

I would note that many of the local authorities in the Thames Gateway cover an area larger than just the Thames Gateway, and do not split their published expenditure between inside and outside the Thames Gateway.
