UK Shared Prosperity Fund

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to provide funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund in 2026-27.

Answered by Alex Norris

At the autumn budget we announced that the UK Shared Prosperity Fund will continue for a further year; this is a transitional arrangement to provide as much stability as possible for 2025-26 in advance of wider local growth funding reforms thereafter. We will set out our long-term vision for local growth at the multi-year spending review.
