Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 2:14 pm on 19 October 2016.
Well, may I thank Simon Thomas for the question? Over the life of the programme from 2014 to 2020, around £1.9 billion is available through European structural funds in Wales—£855 million, namely 44 of that allocation, has already been committed. I expect the remaining £1 billion to be deployed to the maximum extent, although our ability to do so remains dependent on the UK Government’s timescales for leaving the European Union.
