Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to provide funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund in 2026-27.
At the autumn budget we announced that the UK Shared Prosperity Fund will continue for a further year; this is a transitional arrangement to provide as much stability as possible for 2025-26 in advance of wider local growth funding reforms thereafter. We will set out our long-term vision for local growth at the multi-year spending review.
