	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2020 answer text <p>The UK Government made legislation establishing a victims payments scheme in January. It did so both to fulfil its legal obligation (under the Executive Formation Act) and because it is committed to doing what it can to progress a scheme that has been delayed by political disagreements for too long. The Executive committed to take forward a scheme and, under the provisions of the Regulations, is legally obligated to now do so.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to prioritise supporting the Executive’s delivery of this scheme. NIO officials have been offering support to assist progress on implementation, by advising the team of officials on the appropriate interpretation and intention of the Regulations; but it is the Executive’s responsibility to implement the scheme.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 25/06/2020 13:50:01 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2020 answer text <p>The UK Government is committed to strengthening the Union, levelling up every part of the UK and has committed to replacing EU Structural Funds with the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. <br> <br> The Government recognises the importance of reassuring local areas on the future of local growth funding and of providing clarity on the UKSPF. We remain committed to creating the UKSPF to succeed European structural funds and provide vital investment across the UK as we support the recovery, renewal and levelling up of local economies following Covid-19. <br> <br> Now we have left the European Union, we have an opportunity to replace European structural funds with a UKSPF which binds together the whole of the United Kingdom, tackling inequality and deprivation in each of our four nations. The 2019 Conservative Manifesto committed to, at minimum, matching current levels of funding for each nation from EU structural funds.</p><p><br> Over the coming weeks, the Government will be assessing the impact of Covid-19 and how best to support economic recovery. We will need to work closely as one United Kingdom to understand the changing needs of local and regional economies and tailor our response to the impact of Covid-19. We have a real opportunity through the UKSPF to design a fund that is driven by domestic priorities. The Government will set out further plans for the fund at the Comprehensive Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 25/06/2020 16:45:18 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
