Asked by: Anthony Mangnall (Conservative - Totnes)
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when his Department plans to allocate funding from the Faith New Deal Pilot Fund.
Answered by Kemi Badenoch - Leader of HM Official Opposition
The £1 million Faith New Deal Pilot Fund focuses on strengthening engagement between national government, local government and faith groups. The fund was formally launched on 9 September 2021 and bids closed on 14 October 2021.
We received a large number of applications for the fund and officials are in the final stages of the assessment and moderation process. The results and subsequent funding allocations will be announced in due course.
