Five regional development agencies are to share in the extra £15 million announced recently to boost businesses hit by the foot-and-mouth epidemic.
The North-West will get the major slice - £7 million. The South-West will receive £3 million and £2 million will go to Yorkshire.
The remaining £3 million will be divided equally between the North-East and West Midlands RDAs.
