Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what funding has been allocated from the public purse to the NP11.
The NP11 has been provided with £850,0000.
The Government and NP11 have agreed a Memorandum of Understanding and headline business plan for 2019/20. It sets out how the NP11 will work with Government to unlock the north’s economic potential. This includes collaboration across the Local Enterprise Partnerships, key business and civic leaders, and other strategic partners across the North.
The NP11 is an independent body, and so appoint their own Chair and Vice Chair.
