(asked on 11th February 2020) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of trend in the level of average earnings in the North East.
This question was answered on 18th February 2020
In 2019, the North East’s median weekly wages grew by 5.1%, the fastest of any region and nation in the UK in that year.
We are investing in a £3.6 billion Towns Fund to level up our regions and create places where people want to live and thrive. As part of this, we are supporting towns across the North East – including Hartlepool, Redcar, and Middlesbrough – which have already been shortlisted to be eligible for funds targeting economic growth and regeneration.
