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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on the level of funding that will be allocated from the UK Shared Prosperity fund to support disabled people into work.

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) will support people to contribute and benefit from economic growth.

Taking its lead from the Industrial Strategy, the Fund will tackle inequalities between communities by investing in the foundations of productivity.

We intend to consult on the UKSPF this year, as we committed to do in our Industrial Strategy.
