Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions he has had with HM Treasury on funding for existing EU structural and investment projects; and if all such projects meet the criteria of providing strong value for money and are in line with domestic strategic priorities.

The Department is in regular contact with HM Treasury regarding funding for EU Structural and Investment Funds projects. All EU Structural and Investment Funds projects,signed to date, deliver value for money, are in line with domestic strategic priorities and will be guaranteed by the Government after the UK leaves the EU.
