Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Eden Project North will receive £50 million of Government funding; whether the allocation has changed following the cancellation of the Levelling up Fund; and what proportion of government funding is dependent on matched funding.

Following the Government's funding simplification reforms, the Levelling Up Fund was consolidated into the Local Regeneration Fund, which honoured all previous commitments. Lancaster City Council have been awarded up to £50 million for the Eden Project North.

The Government award is not dependent on match funding. An assessment of wider project funding was undertaken as part of the approval of the business case to ensure project deliverability.

Based on the latest information held by MHCLG, Lancaster City Council forecast that the Eden Project North will complete in October 2028.
