Answer

My Executive colleagues and I, led by the Minister of Finance, engage regularly with the UK Government and the other devolved administrations regarding delivery of funding streams under the Levelling Up agenda, including the Shared Prosperity Fund.

We will continue to press the UK Government on plans for post-2025 funding and seek to maximise opportunities and secure the best possible outcome for Northern Ireland.
