Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail (i) how the outcome of the European Union referendum will impact European funding and activities in the voluntary and community sector; and (ii) how any shortfall will be replaced.

Answer:

It is too early to make a meaningful assessment of the impact of the outcome of the European Union referendum on the voluntary and community sector or how any potential shortfall will be replaced. No decision has been made by HM Government on triggering Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union to initiate the formal negotiation to leave the European Union. Until such times as any new arrangements are negotiated and take effect, business will continue as usual.
