We want to ensure that the UK Shared Prosperity Fund can deliver for the people of Wales, and the Secretary of State for Wales has had positive discussions with colleagues in the Welsh Government on how our two Governments can work together to make a success of the Fund.</p> answering member printed Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist question first answered 02/06/2020 11:27:33 answering member 4582 label Biography information for Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2020 answer text <p>For those who are at the highest risk in our society, we have ensured more is done to keep them safe. The shielding programme, which was initiated by the UK Government, is an unprecedented package of support for those most at risk from coronavirus. It has required collaboration between the food and drink industry, drivers, volunteers and councils. Consistency to support the vulnerable has been key. This is why the UK Government and the Welsh Government are working together to protect the most vulnerable in Wales and I discuss this support as part of my regular dialogue with the First Minister and his Ministerial team.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire answering member printed Simon Hart question first answered 08/06/2020 10:15:54 answering member 3944 label Biography information for Simon Hart
