Today I'm announcing half-a-billion pounds to invest in more than a hundred businesses across Britain to help them expand and develop ideas. With this money they can employ more staff, train more young people, and help build a stronger economy.

This builds on what we have already achieved: since the Liberal Democrats came into Government in 2010, we've helped businesses create more than a million jobs.

Liberal Democrats are leading an unrelenting focus in the Coalition Government to create a million more jobs. Today's announcement is the fourth round of the Regional Growth Fund, on top of the £2.5bn we've already invested.

I'm determined that Liberal Democrats focus the Coalition Government on building a stronger economy, in a fairer society. That's why I introduced the Regional Growth Fund, to help rebalance the economy away from Labour's focus on financial services in the City of London. Today's announcement has brought that another step closer.
Best wishes,Nick Clegg Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister
