Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what consultation his Department carried out on the design of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund in 2021.
The Government has been engaging with key stakeholders on the design and priorities of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund since 2016, including holding a series of regional engagement events which helped to identify the opportunities for UK Shared Prosperity Fund policy and learn lessons from EU funding.
Since the publication of the UKSPF Heads of Terms at Spending Review 2020, we have continued to engage widely on UKSPF across a variety of different organisations and sectors.
