Recommendation (the committee's words)
We note the significant cross-party consensus there appears to be for the challenges that the Levelling Up policy is seeking to solve. We recommend that future Governments take a more sustained and long-term approach to levelling up matched by ongoing and secure funding. This must avoid unnecessary duplication and not lead simply to the creation of more local growth initiatives. Only in this way can the policy begin to address the challenges outlined in the White Paper and ultimately find success in ‘levelling up’ the UK.
