Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to provide funding to the independent What Works Centre for Wellbeing, and what assessment they have made of the support that the Centre is able to provide in fulfilling the aims of the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill.

The What Works Centre for Wellbeing currently receives funding from Cabinet Office, DCMS, and the Department for Transport. This includes work supported by the Evaluation Accelerator Fund, details of which can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evaluation-accelerator-fund.

The department will continue working with a variety of partners to deliver levelling up.
