Question to the HM Treasury:

What steps he is taking to ensure equity of funding to help deliver productivity growth throughout the north of England.

We will level up opportunity to ensure every region and nation benefits from growth. I will set out further detail at the Budget including the publication of the National infrastructure Strategy, which will detail the Government’s plan to transform the UK’s infrastructure.

This will build on the £3.6 billion Towns Fund supporting places across our regions, including 45 Town Deals in the Northern Powerhouse.
