The Government published a press release on 11 May 2022 setting out the aims of the Bill. It also published a policy paper on 11 May 2022 entitled Levelling Up and Regeneration: further information.

The Bill would make a range of legislative changes associated with the Government’s “levelling up” agenda, which intends to reduce geographical, economic, social and health inequalities. Many of these changes, though not all, were foreshadowed in the February 2022 White Paper Levelling Up the United Kingdom.
