Answer

As this Department does not have a role in the design and delivery of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, it is not possible to detail the impact of any potential shortfall.

I am aware of, and very much empathise, with the significant concerns of the Voluntary and Community Sector which is supported under SPF and previously ESF.
