Economic Growth: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of allocating any remaining New Deal for Northern Ireland funding to organisations that currently rely on European Social Fund funding.
- Answer
-
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), led by the Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), will invest £127m in Northern Ireland over the next two years.
DLUHC worked extensively with stakeholders in Northern Ireland to develop an investment plan that caters to the needs of Northern Ireland’s society and economy. This plan was published on 14 December 2022 and can be accessed at:
The UKSPF is not a like-for-like replacement for EU structural funding. It will allow us to invest in social programmes that target people and places most in need.
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland is considering options to ensure we maximise the benefit of the New Deal for Northern Ireland. Announcements on allocations for the remaining funding will be made in due course.
