Question

Will he outline what discussions he is having about the shared prosperity fund and whether capital as well as revenue will be available?

Answer from Simon Hart

My hon. Friend raises a very good question, and I hope he will take into account that we are looking at the levelling-up fund, the community renewal fund and the community ownership fund, as well as the shared prosperity fund, in the round, and other potential funding proposals too. When he sees the detail, I hope he will see that we address both capital and revenue.
