Committees

Funding for Levelling Up

Inquiry

This inquiry will look at the funds available for levelling-up and how effectively resources are directed to those areas most in need.

The Committee’s inquiry will examine questions around the allocation of levelling-up resources and the aim, size and focus of the many different funds available. The inquiry will also explore how far the Government’s approach to funding for levelling up, and proposed initiatives such as Investment Zones, contributes to its objective of levelling up the country.
