UK Shared Prosperity Fund

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether funds allocated through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund will be delivered.

Answered by Alex Norris

£1.9 billion has already been delivered, of an available £2.2 billion, to local authorities, with the remainder of allocations available to lead local authorities (LLAs) based on their actual spend at the end of the programme. We are working closely with LLAs to ensure we are able to maximise the benefits of UKSPF. Each local authority has an agreed plan to deliver locally important projects by March 2025 when the current funding period ends.
