The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 30 July 2024, to Question 1748, on Levelling Up Fund, if she will publish the details of where agreements are in place.

Answered by Alex Norris

Details of all projects awarded funding through the Levelling Up Fund have been published on gov.uk.

The Chancellor’s July ‘Public Spending: Inheritance’ speech forecasted an overspend of £21.9 billion above limits set by the Treasury in the Spring. We understand that will have caused uncertainty about the status of some projects and the challenge that presents locally. We must, however, ensure that we are making responsible decisions on public spending. Decisions that have fallen on this government to take. In this context, the Chancellor has set out a path to confirming plans for this year and next at the forthcoming Budget on October 30th.
