The UK Shared Prosperity Fund will strengthen the foundations of productivity as set out in our modern Industrial Strategy to support people to benefit from economic prosperity. This new Fund will ensure that investments are targeted effectively to align with the challenges faced by places, creating a fresh opportunity to focus investment according to our own priorities. We are continuing to work on the design and priorities and we will consult widely on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. This will give all interested parties the chance to contribute their views to Government. Final decisions are due to be made during the Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 02/04/2019 14:31:04 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2018 answer text <p>We will create the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) following our departure from the European Union. The new fund will tackle inequalities between communities by raising productivity, especially in those parts of our country whose economies are furthest behind.</p><p>We know that places require certainty of funding after we leave the European Union. The draft Withdrawal Agreement guarantees the UK will continue to take part in the 2014-2020 EU programmes until they end. We continue to plan for all scenarios, including a no deal, in which, the government has extended this guarantee for the full EU 2014-20 programme. 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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2017 answer text <p>Under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) 2014–20 Programme in England, the funding available has been allocated to Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) areas and it is then for these partners to inform central Government when and where investments in their respective areas take place. The ERDF is the main source of EU funding used to support infrastructure in localities. This is complemented by the European Social Fund (ESF) which is also allocated to LEP areas in England and supports employment, skills and social inclusion.</p><p>The level of EU Structural Funds (the combination of the ERDF and the ESF) that has been allocated to each LEP area, including Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Heart of the South West and England can be found (attached) here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-structural-funds-uk-allocations-2014-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-structural-funds-uk-allocations-2014-to-2020</a>.</p><p>The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly LEP area allocation is significantly greater than that of the Heart of the South West. This is because the EU categorises Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly as ‘a Less Developed Region’ whereas it categorises Heart of the South West as ‘a More Developed Region’. These categories are assigned according to the per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of each of these areas.</p><p>Details of population by LEP area from 2010 onwards using the Nomis Database which can be found here: <a href="https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/lmp/lep/contents.aspx" target="_blank">https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/lmp/lep/contents.aspx</a></p><p>Details of projects that have been funded are available (attached) on GOV.UK: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/european-structural-and-investment-funds-useful-resources" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/european-structural-and-investment-funds-useful-resources</a></p><p>The government has committed to develop the UK Shared Prosperity Fund as a successor to EU structural fund programmes. This new Fund affords a fresh opportunity to spend money according to our own priorities, improve productivity and reduce economic inequality across the country.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth attachment 1 file name 171108 ERDF HL2577 2576.pdf title ERDF 2 file name 171108 EUstructural-funds-uk-allocations-2014-to-2020- HL2577 HL2576.pdf title EU Structural Fund grouped question UIN HL2577 question first answered 09/11/2017 14:08:44 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
