Chair's comments

Clive Betts, Chair of the Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Committee, said: 

“The Minister’s disclosure of data relating to levelling-up funding programmes is welcome. If we are to examine the impact and allocation of these funds on communities across the country, it is crucial there is transparency and accountability from Government on the range of levelling-up monies available.

As a Committee, we look forward to examining issues around levelling-up funding in evidence sessions in the Autumn.”
