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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has consulted those people in receipt of EU structural funds on a replacement for that scheme once the UK has left the EU.

We have committed to creating the United Kingdom Shared Prosperity Fund as the successor to European Structural Funds following the UK’s departure from the EU. We intend to consult widely on the design of the fund as part of the process of its establishment.
