The government’s levelling-up agenda presents a ‘major risk’ to the South East region in its current form, according to a group of MPs.

Last month the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for the South East has published its report following its inquiry: Financing the future – what does levelling up mean for South East England?

The report reveals major concern amongst local government and business groups in the South East that the levelling up agenda presents a ‘major risk to the region in its current form’.

The South East is one of only three regions in the UK who makes a net contributors to the Treasury meaning levelling up here is a vital part of levelling up the country as a whole.
