Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask His Majesty's Government how much outstanding funding is due for each Levelling Up Fund project in Scotland; and whether this funding will still be delivered to each project following the 2024 Autumn Budget.
£471 million has been awarded to 24 projects in Scotland through the Levelling Up Fund and to date £132 million has been released. At Autumn Budget 2024 we were pleased to confirm that funding for rounds 1 – 3 projects of the Levelling Up Fund have been confirmed.
The Autumn Budget 2024 confirmed that the government is minded to withdraw the funding for culture projects announced at Spring Budget 2024, which includes allocations to Dunfermline, Perth and the Victoria and Albert Museum Dundee levelling up culture projects. The consultation process with potential recipients is underway.
