Answer
The Chancellor discusses matters of importance to the Welsh economy with the Secretary of State for Wales and Cabinet on a regular basis.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund will be used to bind together the whole of the United Kingdom, tackling inequality and deprivation in each of our four nations. It will replace the overly bureaucratic EU Structural Funds, and not only be better targeted at the UK’s specific needs, but will match the size of those funds in each nation.
