Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to support economic growth outside London and the South East.
The government will 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 Autumn Statement we announced that regions outside London and the South East will receive £1.3 billion from the Local Growth Fund to back local priorities and support new jobs.
