Lanarkshire 'short-changed' for funding after EU replacement scheme is unveiled

Lanarkshire has been "short-changed" by millions of pounds through a new funding initiative, according to a local MSP.

The Conservative Government at Westminster has unveiled the Shared Prosperity fund, which they say will replace funding streams previously provided through the European Union.
