Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask His Majesty's Government what mechanisms exist within the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to enable local authorities to work together and with universities to bid for funding for research projects that require large-scale collaboration across regions or nations.
UKSPF is being delivered by lead local authorities and universities can bid for funding locally, but there is no limit on the scale and scope of projects which can be delivered across regional and national borders.
