The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, for what reason did Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority not qualify for the Mayoral Revolving Growth Fund.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Mayoral Revolving Growth Fund's place selection methodology is available online: Mayoral Revolving Growth Fund: policy statement - GOV.UK. This sets out that places were selected based on:

  1. their growth potential using Gross Domestic Product per head to measure distance from UK average productivity; and
  2. strategic, financial and risk management capability, evidenced by agreed shared Local Growth Plan priorities and readiness for an Integrated Settlement by 2026/27.

Based on those criteria, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority did not qualify for the fund.
