Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will make it his policy to provide extensions to permitted expenditure windows for Shared Prosperity Fund funding in certain circumstances.
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.
