To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 10 September 2018 to Question 170708 and the Written Statement of 24 July 2018 on Local Growth, HLWS898, if he will publish the proposed timeline for the consultation on the Shared Prosperity Fund.

We intend to publish the public consultation on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund shortly. Over the past year the Government has conducted a series of engagement events across the UK, which have provided a crucial opportunity for interested parties to provide their views on the design of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
