Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the re-payment of European Structural Investment Funds when the UK leaves the EU.

The Department for Exiting the European Union is working with departments across government to ensure that people and businesses have stability and certainty in the period leading up to our departure in March 2019, and that we use the opportunities that our EU exit presents to determine our own priorities. The government has guaranteed funding for all European Structural and Investment Fund projects signed before we leave the EU – provided they are value for money and in line with domestic priorities.
