Answer

It is my intention to commission an evaluation of the High Street Stimulus Scheme following its closure.

This will be undertaken in accordance with DOF guidance on evaluations, and will consider a full range of evaluation metrics including the scheme's performance against its original objectives as well as an assessment of its economic impact.
