The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether her Department plans to maintain funding from the UK Share Prosperity Fund for projects in Northern Ireland after the funding period ends in March 2025.

Answered by Alex Norris

My officials are in regular communication with our key stakeholders in Northern Ireland on this issue, as well as with the officials from the Northern Ireland Executive and our UKSPF Partnership Group. We will continue to work closely with our key stakeholders and will use their feedback as we determine our approach going forward.

Decisions regarding funding beyond March 2025 are a matter for the next Spending Review.
