lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, for years European cohesion policy has, through the Structural and Investment Funds, played a significant role in fostering the social, cultural and economic vibrancy of both rural and urban areas across the EU, including the UK. Loss of these funds would therefore be a real blow for local economic growth in communities. In my region, Greater Manchester’s programmes for supporting people into work are underpinned by European money. Since early 2014, its Working Well pilot programme has so far engaged 4 000 residents who are on employment and support alliance to help overcome their barriers to work. The initiative will run until 2020 and is reliant on GBP 12 million yet to be received from the EU to help a further 15 000 who are on out—of—work benefits or in low—paid work. Brexit provokes many questions, including whether the UK Government will replace EU funds lost to the regions beyond 2020. It is imperative that Theresa May presents us with a long-term commitment to secure investments at a local level."@en1
