Sky news reports that Levelling Up Secretary, Michael Gove (Con) unveiled the Government's "landmark" plan for levelling up the country claiming to improve the lives of those outside London and the South East

Speaking in the Commons on Wednesday, Mr Gove said that ministers will aim to hit 12 "levelling up missions" by 2030 in order to "change the economic model of this county".

These national aims range from improving public transport to ensuring access to 5G broadband.

However, critics of the White Paper challenged that the 12 missions were rather “12 admissions of failure” and condemned the fact that there was no new money behind the announcements.

The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Simon Clarke later offered that the Government had committed a fresh £150 billion across all departments.
