Community Development: Finance

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Communities Opportunities Fund has been abolished.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Chancellor’s July ‘Public Spending: Inheritance’ speech set out the state of the UK’s spending inheritance from the previous Government. In this context, the Chancellor has set out a path to confirming plans for this year and next at the forthcoming Budget on October 30th.

We understand that this may have caused uncertainty about the status of the Community Ownership Fund. The Government will seek to provide certainty wherever it can between now and conclusion of the Spending Review.
