Levelling-Up funds inquiry questions Levelling-Up Minister
The Committee questions Dehenna Davison MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Levelling Up), DLUHC, for the Committee’s inquiry into Funding for Levelling-Up.
Meeting details
Following today’s announcement of the successful bids for the Levelling Up Fund Round 2, this provides the Committee with a timely opportunity to scrutinise the Government on the funds available for levelling-up and how effectively resources are directed to those areas most in need.
Nearly one year on from the publication of the Levelling Up White Paper, the Committee are also likely to explore the Government’s progress on delivering on the twelve national levelling up missions.
The session is also expected to cover the Levelling-Up Fund and UK Shared Prosperity Fund, issues around competitive bidding, metrics and data, and broader topics of how to support local areas and regions, reduce inequalities, and ensure the success of the levelling-up agenda.
