[edit] Funding

A small amount of funding is also received from United Kingdom Trade and Investment, a joint vehicle between the DTI and the Foreign Office, but this is generally considered to be part of the DTI, and the Department of Trade and Industry page says the same thing. However, it also contributes more than DCMS! Do people think it should be listed seperately, despite not being a central government department? MrTrev 03:12, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UK Centric

This article is very UK Centric. While the most prominent RDAs seem to be the UK ones, the idea is implemented elsewhere in the world, sometimes under different names, and using different structures. Yet the idea of a public but independent entity with the aim of promoting economic development is nowadays very wide spread. This article need to be expanded to include non-UK RDAs or RDA-like bodies. --Inkiwna 07:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
