Ian Austin:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills how much he expects to be saved consequent on reductions in spending on (a) his Department's programmes and (b) non-governmental organisations in the West Midlands for which his Department is responsible made in order to contribute to the £100 million reduction in expenditure set out by the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 24 May 2010.

Mr Davey:
Estimates of the regional impact of programme savings have not yet been made.
The £100 million saving equates to approximately 11% of the overall running costs for the Department and we are expecting that saving to be applied across BIS and its partner organisations in all regions. The precise allocation of savings to particular organisations is still being decided.
