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

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Levelling Up agenda applies (1) equally, and (2) equivalently, to both rural and urban, areas.

As set out in the Levelling Up White Paper, the UK Government is committed to ensuring that all places across the UK, including both rural and urban communities, benefit from increased opportunity. The systems reform and specific policy interventions that we have committed to in the White Paper reflect this.
