Scottish Government ministers say they have had “no clear response” from Westminster on how a post-Brexit funding scheme will work – despite asking questions for almost two years.
The Employment Minister, Richard Lochhead, said he was “beyond disappointed” with the UK Government on the issue of how its Shared Prosperity Fund – brought in as a replacement for EU structural funding – would work.
He has written to UK ministers asking a series of “vitally important questions that we need urgent answers to”.
