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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by the Covid Recovery Commission Ambition 2030: A Partnership for Growth, published on 27 April; and what plans they have to implement its recommendations.

We welcome the good work done by the Covid Recovery Commission in considering how a long-term national prosperity plan can deliver growth and increase living standards in the UK.

As we emerge from the pandemic, we need a plan which ensures we Build Back Better from COVID-19. That is why we have published Building Back Better: our Plan for Growth. Building on this, we will publish a Levelling Up White Paper later this year setting out how bold new policy interventions will improve livelihoods across the country as we recover from the pandemic.

We will continue to review and consider recommendations made by the Covid Recovery Commission in future policy.
