The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to extend the Rural England Prosperity Fund.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

The Autumn Statement on 30 October confirmed Defra’s budgets for 2024-25 and 2025-26. Funding allocations for individual programmes for the next financial year will be determined in upcoming months through the department’s business planning exercise.

The department is working closely with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and will update on the Rural England Prosperity Fund in due course.
