Asked by: Mark Menzies (Independent - Fylde)
Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what recent assessment he has made of the impact of levelling up funding on communities in Scotland.
Answered by John Lamont - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland Office)
The UK Government is now investing more than £2.9 billion across Levelling Up initiatives in Scotland. That's the equivalent of £538 per person in Scotland.
I have personally seen how this funding is regenerating towns, creating jobs, and empowering communities to deliver directly on their ambitions.
