This provides certainty and clarity in the event of a no-deal and allows for a smooth transition to a domestic replacement.</p><p>We will continue to engage widely ahead of a public consultation intended for later this year, providing all interested parties with an opportunity to convey their views. This will inform decisions on the operation and allocation of the UKSPF, which will be subject to the 2019 Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 29/10/2018 14:49:12 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
