Levelling Up Fund

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the impact of levelling up funding on UK productivity.

Answer

Levelling up is about boosting pay and productivity, especially in places where they are lagging. The Levelling Up White Paper set out 12 long-term levelling up missions including a mission on living standards, which set out that by 2030, pay, employment and productivity will have risen in every area of the UK, with each containing a globally competitive city, and the gap between the top performing and other areas closing.

As part of our commitment to levelling up, my department has committed over £9.9 billion from levelling up funds since 2019. Monitoring and evaluation strategies for our levelling up funds can be found on gov.uk.
