Recommendation
A lack of transparency in the selection process for the UKSPF could damage trust in the fund and those delivering it. The UK Government should ensure that its methodology and criteria for allocating UKSPF funds are clear and transparent.
Government Response Summary
The government states it will publish further detail on the UK Shared Prosperity Fund later this year and confirm its funding profile at the next Spending Review, indicating that information will be provided but not explicitly committing to clear and transparent allocation methodology and criteria.
