Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, pursuant to the Answer of 27 November to Question 2903 on Levelling Up Fund, which projects which met or exceeded the 74.25 score threshold in England and Wales and 72.25 score threshold in Scotland were not selected due to the application of the relevant caps on projects by (a) local authority, (b) ITL1 region and (c) ITL2 region.

I refer the Rt Hon Member to the answer I gave to Question UIN 2903 on 27th November 2023. The published methodology note sets out the robust process that was followed to select bids. In total, the methodology resulted in 55 projects provisionally selected for funding; no further bids were or added or removed by ministers.
