Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Alex Cunningham and Philip Davies

Monday 27th March 2023 Commons Chamber

[Alex Cunningham (Stockton North) (Lab)]

15. What recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the delivery of funds for successful levelling-up fund bids.

[Philip Davies (Shipley) (Con)]

20. What the deadline is for the next round of levelling-up fund bids.

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (Dehenna Davison)]

The levelling-up fund continues to invest in infrastructure that improves everyday life for local residents across the UK. Levelling-up fund projects that are in delivery are closely monitored through quarterly reporting, with payments made to local authorities every six months. We have also agreed a £65 million support package to ensure that local authorities have the capacity they need to deliver. I am pleased to say that details of the next round of the levelling-up fund will be outlined in due course.
