<p>This government is committed to unlocking potential right across the country, and
whilst some funds have been primarily targeted towards those places where homes are
too expensive or in too short supply, they have been utilised in all regions. It is
important in some respects to direct funding to areas where there is the greatest
affordability challenge, but any government that wants to level up must also direct
infrastructure investment for housing to other parts of the country as well, and we
will be bearing this in mind going forward.</p><p>As we respond to the effects of
the coronavirus pandemic, I agree we need to take a fresh look at how all corners
of the country can prosper and benefit from the funding they need, building on the
action we've already taken through the £3.6 billion Towns Fund, £400 million Brownfield
Fund, and £900 million Getting Building Fund.</p>
