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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when he plans to publish the details of the Shared Prosperity Fund.

As the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government confirmed to the House on 28 January, we will consult widely on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). This will allow all interested parties the opportunity to input their views directly to government and ensure the UKSPF works for all places across the UK.

Final decisions on the quantum and administration of the Fund are due to be made during the comprehensive Spending Review.
