Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will publish the level of funding allocated to local authorities through the (a) European Regional Development Fund and (b) European Social Fund.
In England, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and European Social Fund (ESF) are collectively known as the Structural Funds. MHCLG are responsible for managing the England ERDF programme and DWP the ESF programme. For the 2014-20 programming period the majority of the Structural Funds have been notionally allocated to Local Enterprise Partnership areas. These allocations were announced by the Secretary of State for Business on 17 April 2014. The letter notifying Local Enterprise Partnership Chairs and MPs of the allocations can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/307492/bis-14-772-uk-allocations-eu-structural-funds-2014-2020-letter.pdf
