To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what (a) capital and (b) resource funding was allocated to the Future High Streets Fund in 2024-25 by the previous Government; and what funding is now allocated.

The below allocation was forecast in March 2024 under the previous government based on remaining payments due. This has now been paid in full.

Capital | £78,750,470 | £78,750,470 |
