Conclusion (the committee's words)
We have also heard from the Scottish and Welsh Governments, and officials from the Northern Ireland Executive, that levelling up funding was not always compatible with devolved policy and that the method of distribution was not appropriate. The Multiply fund is an example of the UK Government not providing value for money when it comes to matters under the UKIMA and devolved policy. Although the UK Internal Market Act 2020 provides the Government with powers to support economic and education development across the UK, we have heard that the method for distributing Multiply funding was wasteful and not done in the most efficient way.
