Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether the Government plans to develop schemes to replace existing EU regeneration funding after the UK has left the EU.

As set out in the Industrial Strategy Green Paper, the Government is carefully considering the future of European Structural and Investment Funds following the UK’s exit from the European Union. We welcome views on this, including through responses to the Green Paper consultation, which was open until 17 April.
