Budget Resolutions

Proceeding contribution from Mark Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 October 2021. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions.

What I have heard from several Members, particularly Opposition Members, suggests that they do not really know what levelling up is. I think it is actually very straightforward. It is about spreading opportunity more fairly and evenly across the country, so that all children, whichever part of the country they live in—in fact, not just all children, but all adults—have the same opportunity to reach their full potential. I do not think that that is very complicated to explain, but it is of course more challenging to deliver.
