Part 1: Levelling-Up Missions Reporting on missions Section 4: Reports: Parliamentary scrutiny and publication Effect
This section provides that the report on the delivery of levelling-up missions must be laid before each House of Parliament before the end of the period of 120 days beginning immediately after the last day of the period to which the report relates. That report should be published as soon as is reasonably practicable. Subsection (3) excludes from the 120 days as days when Parliament is dissolved, prorogued or in recess for more than four days.
Example
A Minister of the Crown will produce an annual report on the delivery of the levelling-up missions. The report will contain information assessing progress against the levelling-up missions judged using the missions methodology and metrics contained in the statement of levelling-up missions. The Minister of the Crown adds to the list of metrics contained in the original statement of levelling-up missions to include new data sources that have been made available by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) recently and includes the relevant data in the report accordingly. The report would be laid in each House of Parliament every year, no more than 120 sitting days following the end of the previous annual period.
