Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to support economic growth in (a) Medway and (b) the South East.

The investments the government announced at the 2016 Autumn Statement will support a country that works for everyone, no matter where they live. We want to drive up the productivity and growth of every region by investing in their infrastructure, developing the skills of their people and supporting their companies.

At the 2016 Autumn Statement, the government also announced that Local Enterprise Partnerships in London and The South East will also benefit from £492 million of Local Growth Fund money backing local projects, growth and jobs.
