To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will make it his policy to more tightly define the purposes for which Shared Prosperity Fund funding can be spent.
Answer
I refer the Hon. Member to the UKSPF evaluation strategy published in March 2023 and UK Shared Prosperity Fund: reporting, monitoring and performance management (3) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The UKSPF improves on EU structural funds by focusing on UK priorities, including key government priorities of building pride in place, improving life chances, and boosting skills.
