The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Growth Mission Fund will include eligibility criteria for (a) rural job creation and (b) the farming supply chain.

The Growth Mission Fund will invest £240 million of capital from 2026/27 to 2029/30 in projects that enable local job creation and the economic regeneration of local communities. Further detail on this fund and the criteria that will be applied for project selection will be set out in due course.
