12. What steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to support regeneration in Scotland through the pride in place programme.

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Kirsty McNeill)]

The Scotland Office is backing Scotland’s communities with our £292 million pride in place investment. The plan will support grassroots movements that restore local people’s power, boost national pride and help people get on in life. It will revitalise our high streets, create jobs and improve safety and security. More than that, it will give expression to this Government’s core belief that communities are powerful and that in every corner of our country, we find millions of so-called ordinary people doing their best and doing their bit to transform the places they love for the people they love.
