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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what support from the Coastal Communities Fund is available for Scotland.

Since 2012, the Coastal Communities Fund has awarded grants to 311 projects worth over £180 million to coastal areas in the UK to support economic growth and jobs. This funding is helping to create or safeguard over 18,000 UK jobs and attract over £316 million of public/ private sector co-finance.

The administration of the Coastal Communities Fund in Scotland is a devolved matter. The Scottish Government is currently reviewing the Coastal Communities Fund. My Hon Friend should contact Scottish Ministers for further information.
