Written Question
Uk Shared Prosperity Fund: Wales
Wednesday 19th October 2022

Asked by: Simon Baynes (Conservative - Clwyd South)

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the potential benefits of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund for Wales.

Answered by Robert Buckland

I have regular discussions with Ministerial colleagues on how Wales’ £585 million share of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund will level up communities across Wales.

With local authorities, businesses, the third sector and civil society fully engaged, the UKSPF will mean quicker delivery, better targeting and closer alignment with local priorities than previous EU funding.
