Lord Dodds of Duncairn:To ask His Majesty's Government which projects in Northern Ireland have so far received funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. \p Baroness Taylor of Stevenage: The Community Renewal Fund is now closed. Details of the 31 projects funded by the Community Renewal Fund in Northern Ireland are available at: UK Community Renewal Fund: successful and unsuccessful bids - GOV.UK. Please note Extern Works North West project withdrew and did not receive funding.

On 8 March 2024 the previous administration confirmed that the £30 million reserved for Northern Ireland as part of round 3 of the Levelling Up Fund formed part of the UK Government’s financial package for the restored Northern Ireland Executive, increasing the spending power available to the Executive and allowing it to invest against its own priorities.

The Department will continue to work closely with projects and places in Northern Ireland that were awarded a total of £120 million across the first two rounds of the fund.

My Department works collaboratively with strategic and delivery partners and Northern Ireland Executive departments to ensure that the UK Shared Prosperity Fund programme is investing in local needs and priorities. We have supported 43 impactful projects to date in Northern Ireland, kickstarting economic growth and breaking down barriers to opportunity through a range of investments detailed at this link : UK Shared Prosperity Fund: Northern Ireland project information - GOV.UK.
