Oral Answers to Questions

Patrick Grady Excerpts

Monday 12th March 2018 Commons Chamber

[Sajid Javid]

I very much agree with my right hon. Friend, and Leicestershire in particular has done much work on this, which will certainly feed into the consultation on fairer funding that is closing today. My hon. Friend the Minister for Housing recently met with Leicestershire and I would be very happy to meet my right hon. Friend to discuss this further.

[Patrick Grady (Glasgow North) (SNP)]

T6. Given the importance of European Union regional development funding to communities in Scotland and across the UK, what discussions is the Secretary of State having with the Treasury about replacement funding after Brexit?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Jake Berry)]

We are having wide discussions with all Departments across Government consulting on the UK’s shared prosperity fund, which, crucially, in a post-Brexit world, will deliver on Britain’s priorities when it comes to local growth funding.
