answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2023 answer text <p>We will not have fixed allocations (or 'pillars', as they were known whilst we were in the EU) of money ring-fenced to different schemes. Instead, we will learn as we go and find the best ways to manage the overall budget to respond to demand in a way that helps us achieve our intended outcomes. This means we will keep the allocation of funding between different schemes under review over time.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 24/01/2023 15:13:59 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
