Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate she has made on the level of funding available for the Northamptonshire Action with Communities in Rural England.

No estimate has been made on the level of funding available for Northamptonshire Action with Communities in Rural England. That is a matter for discussion between ACRE, as the coordinating body for the Network, and Northamptonshire.

We support the valuable work the ACRE Network does to benefit rural communities. That is why we have confirmed that it will again receive over £2 million worth of funding in the coming year.
