Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, how his Department plans to support new programmes that would have been eligible for Rural Development Programme funding after 31 October 2019.

The Government has guaranteed that any Rural Development Programme projects where funding has been agreed before the end of 2020 will be funded for their full lifetime. It will ensure continued funding for these projects until they finish and means that new projects can continue to be signed off by the Welsh Government in Wales after the UK leaves the EU during 2019 and 2020.
