LEADER Programme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the effect of the UK leaving the EU on future funding of the LEADER programme.

Answer

The Government has confirmed that it will guarantee funding for LEADER projects that are signed before EU exit as long as they are good value for money and are in line with domestic strategic priorities. Leaving the EU provides the opportunity to take our own decisions about how we deliver the policy objectives previously targeted by EU funding.
