The Committee intends to take evidence during the first part of 2010 on the
future prospects for the south west economy, expanding on some of the
issues raised in the first inquiry. The Committee is seeking written
submissions on the following:
- the prospects for the regional economy;
- what the region is doing to promote the five sectors identified in the
Government's Partnership for Growth document: digital economy, low carbon
technologies, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and the creative
industries; and
- the effectiveness of regional bodies in supporting rural and remote
economies in the region.
The Committee asks for written submissions in accordance with the
guidelines stated below, and would be grateful if they could be made by
noon on Friday 22 January 2010, although submissions received after that
date will be accepted.
A copy of the submission should be sent by e-mail to
regionalcommittees@parliament.uk. More information is available from the
