Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether it is the Government's policy to seek to draw down the UK share of the coronavirus response investment initiative.
It will be for the UK Managing Authorities to decide how best to use these flexibilities for each Programme under the European Structural and Investment Funds. They are considering this and are determining the levels of funding available for projects to address the economic and health impacts of Covid19. A clearer view of this will emerge in due course.
