To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 19 December 2018 to Question 202313 on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, what the timetable is for the public consultation on the design of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund; and when he plans to publish that consultation document.

We will consult widely on the design of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which will give all interested parties the chance to contribute their views to Government. Their responses will inform final decisions on the Fund, which are due to be taken during the spending review.
