Pride in Place Programme: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, for what reason he has adopted a different approach to Pride in Place Programme Phase 2 funding in Northern Ireland than in Wales and Scotland.
Answered by Hilary Benn
Although phase two of the Pride in Place programme will not be delivered in Northern Ireland, corresponding funding will be made available in Northern Ireland through the Local Growth Fund, with a total UK Government investment of £45.5m per annum over the Spending Review period.
This decision was made in consultation with the Northern Ireland Executive.
