Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy to detail the total amount of the High Street Scheme funding (i) distributed to citizens per constituency; and (ii) spent in each constituency.

Answer:

Due to data protection regulations, the Department does not hold personally identifiable information for cardholders when it comes to spend and card issuance data. Therefore, it is not possible provide the information requested.

However, the Department has recently published management information relating to regional spend and transactions (by Local Government Districts), which is available on the link below.
