Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps he is taking to measure the value for money of the Shared Prosperity Fund.
I refer the Hon. Member to the UKSPF evaluation strategy published in March 2023 and UK Shared Prosperity Fund: reporting, monitoring and performance management (3) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The UKSPF improves on EU structural funds by focusing on UK priorities, including key government priorities of building pride in place, improving life chances, and boosting skills.
