Regional Planning and Development: Tees Valley
(asked on 9th March 2021) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
What assessment he has made of his Department's progress in levelling up the economy of the Tees Valley.
This question was answered on 9th March 2021
The Government remains committed to levelling up opportunity across the UK, including in the Tees Valley.
At the Budget I confirmed a series of measures to level up Tees Valley’s economy:
- New investment in offshore wind ports infrastructure;
- the Teesside Freeport, which I visited with the Prime Minster on Thursday;
- and the new Treasury economic campus in Darlington.
The Tees Valley will also benefit from two new Towns Fund Deals, in Middlesbrough and Thornaby.
