The government is levelling up opportunity across the UK. HM Treasury is committed to levelling up the economy, by ensuring strong employment and increasing productivity across the regions and nations of the UK.

The Spending Review established a set of provisional priority outcomes and metrics across all departments and policy areas which have been published here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spending-review-2020-documents.
