Karl McCartney – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Karl McCartney on 2016-06-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if she will estimate the amount of structural funding that the EU Commission will allocate to Northern Ireland in the post-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework.

Mrs Theresa Villiers

The UK’s 2014-20 allocation for Structural Funds was 5 per cent less than for the 2007-13 period. The Government therefore allocated the UK’s nations an equivalent 5 per cent less for 2014-20 than in the previous period. Northern Ireland’s allocation for 2014-20 is €513.4m.

The post-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework has not been proposed.
