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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent progress has been made on the creation of the Shared Prosperity Fund for Cornwall.

My Department continues to develop the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which aims to improve productivity and reduce economic inequalities across the country. As announced in the Industrial Strategy, we will consult widely on the design of the new Fund later in the year.
