Written Question
Employment Schemes: Young People
Wednesday 18th October 2017

Asked by: Lord Fox (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to replace funding from the European Social Fund for programmes supporting young people not in employment, education or training after the UK leaves the EU.

Answered by Baroness Buscombe

The government has set out a clear commitment to use money that comes back to the United Kingdom following withdrawal from the EU to create a United Kingdom Shared Prosperity Fund, Specifically designed to reduce inequalities between communities across our four nations. My department is working with other departments across Whitehall to develop the new fund.
