Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what discussions he has had with the Northern Ireland Executive on the Shared Prosperity Fund; and what key areas and topics were the subject of those discussions.

The UK Government will continue to engage the devolved administrations and local partners as we develop the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

The Government recognises the importance of reassuring local areas on the future of local growth funding and of providing clarity on the UKSPF.

We also value the insight of stakeholders from different sectors and areas across the UK, which supports the development and delivery of the Fund.
