Levelling up must cover all parts of our country—north, south, east and west—including rural areas. With that in mind, does my hon.

My hon. Friend, my constituency neighbour, is an excellent champion for Penrith and The Border, and I certainly see the excellent work he does. I am certainly happy to meet him to discuss this further.
