Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the answer of 15 April 2026, to Question 123696, on EU Cohesion Fund, whether any of the receipts from the payments to the EU Cohesion Fund will be allocated to Northern Ireland.

As set out in the answer of 15 April, the UK is not currently contributing to EU Cohesion Funds as a consequence of the UK/EU reset. Whilst discussions have begun on the EU's proposal to establish a mechanism for a UK financial contribution towards reducing economic and social disparities between the regions of the Union as part of participation in the Internal Electricity Market, any UK financial contribution would be subject to negotiations with the EU, and no contributions have yet been made or agreed upon.

Separately, the UK, EU and Ireland co-fund the Peace Plus programme per the agreement of March 2023.
