Our response

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request you sent to the Greater London Authority (GLA).

As you may be aware, the GLA manage the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) on behalf of London and have committed the funds under the three investment priorities as published in the Governments prospectus, and the GLA’s approved Investment Plan.

We have committed the funds to London boroughs, Sub-Regional Partnerships (SRPs), London & Partners, and various business projects.

I am pleased to provide you with the information you have requested for the overall London programme.
