Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will publish the amount of European Structural and Investment Funding that is (a) unallocated and (b) allocated but yet to be spent in the next three years.

The UK will remain in European Structural & Investment (ESI) Fund programmes (ERDF, ESF, EAFRD and EMFF) until the end of December 2023, and after this they will be closed. Allocations are published in the Operational Programmes for each fund. These allocations need to be spent within three years of being allocated or by 31st December 2023.

Published information on all ESI funds can be accessed from the ESIF Home Page on GOV.UK at https://www.gov.uk/european-structural-investment-funds, through which links to the websites of the Devolved Administrations can also be accessed.

Published information on ESI funding (ERDF and ESF) in Gibraltar can be found at www.eufunding.gi.

National authorities responsible for managing each Operational Programme will report progress against these allocations in their Annual Implementation Reports to the European Commission. For ESI funds in England the Annual Implementation Reports are available on GOV.UK. Annual Implementation Reports for ESI funds in the Devolved Administrations are available on their respective websites.
