Westminster told to clarify post-Brexit funding system

MPs have urged the British government to clarify exactly how much cash Scotland will receive from a scheme designed to replace EU funding post-Brexit.

The Scottish affairs committee has called on ministers to clarify how much money will be made available as part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

It made the plea as it warned that “uncertainty” over the operation of the fund — which will run from 2022 — was “hindering planning efforts and poses risks to a smooth transition.”
