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

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether those assessing the applications for the Levelling Up fund will be seeking (1) clarity, and (2) additional information, from the applicants if they have further questions.

We are delighted to have launched the second round of the Levelling Up Fund on 23 March, with the publication of an updated prospectus.

We will shortly publish an updated technical note, which will provide applicants with detailed guidance on the application and assessment process, including timelines and the process for applicants to submit their bids.
