Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what development funding they intend to provide to Anguilla after 2020 to substitute for the support currently provided by the European Development Fund.

Future funding and programming arrangements for the Overseas Territories post-2020 will be considered as part of the next Spending Review which is expected to take place in 2019. When reviewing future options careful consideration will be given to any loss of European Union funding the Overseas Territories may experience as a result of the UK leaving the European Union. Any future funding arrangements will need to demonstrate value for money and adopt a consistent approach across all government departments that manage such funds. No decisions have yet been taken on this matter.
