As such, the government is committed to levelling up opportunity across the UK while also enhancing the UK’s existing strengths. This is why the Government continues to demonstrate its commitment to London and the South East, for example investing around £1.7 billion in 48 high-value projects through the Housing Infrastructure Fund, building ten new hospitals, and investing over £120 million from the Transforming Cities Fund in cities such as Southampton and Portsmouth. There are 5.9 million workforce jobs in London, and 22,000 civil service roles will be relocated out of London and the South East by 2030, as announced at Budget 2020.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 08/02/2021 14:59:44 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
