To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what criteria will be used to allocate future Pride in Place grants; and if he will use the lower tier indices of deprivation to provide support to communities.

Our £5.8 billion Pride in Place programme is supporting 284 communities across the UK with up to £20 million in funding to address the local issues that matter most to them. The neighbourhoods have been selected using a robust methodology which identified those affected by a combination of material deprivation and low social capital. We will keep our methodologies under review for any future funding schemes.
