Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether any decisions regarding the quantum and allocation of replacement EU grant funding under the Shared Prosperity Fund will be announced in time for charities and voluntary organisations to continue with existing programmes of work after 2020 when existing grant funding ends.

The Government recognises the importance of providing beneficiaries of EU funding with clarity on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. There are many detailed design questions to come, on which we welcome input from across the UK. It is only right that we take final decisions about the UK Shared Prosperity Fund after a cross-government Spending Review in 2020.
