Regional Planning and Development
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Levelling Up Missions Annual Report 2024-25, published on 21 May 2025, whether she plans to continue collating metrics on well-being.
Answered by Alex Norris
While this Government has drawn a line under the levelling up missions framework, we remain committed to monitoring well-being and tackling regional inequalities through our five central missions.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport continues to chair the cross-government Wellbeing Analysis Board, which aims to promote and improve the delivery of wellbeing analysis across government. Well-being metrics will continue to be collected through established surveys including the ONS Annual Population Survey and the Community Life Survey.
