answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>City and growth deals are a great means by which we as UK Government can work alongside the devolved administration governments and local councils to drive local growth. These deals are locally led, with local leaders starting off by identifying their priorities for delivering growth and productivity across the region. Such priorities may include matters relating to digital infrastructure, health innovation, local energy proposals and many more. Once priorities have been identified, Government works with the local areas to ensure emerging proposals on reserved matters are aligned with UK Government policy and demonstrate value for money, before funding is released.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 26/03/2019 15:27:22 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
