To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 21 January to Question 208793 on UK Shared Prosperity Fund, whether hon. Members were informed in advance of stakeholder events in their constituencies; and whether the Government plans to inform them of future events.

My officials have been holding engagement events across the UK, including in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The stakeholder events were with external stakeholders from a breadth of sectors in order to aid policy development. No ministers or political representatives have been in attendance.
