West Midlands

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.
