Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to ensure that there is a fair redistribution of funding to towns and cities.

The government is committed to levelling up opportunity and investing in local priorities across the UK, including in York. We have so far announced over £2 billion funding to 86 towns through the Towns Fund. Furthermore, at the Budget, the government confirmed the next stage of its levelling up agenda and launched three new investment programmes to support communities across the country, including, the UK Community Renewal Fund, the Levelling Up Fund, and the Community Ownership Fund.
