Framework for Levelling Up and setting and reporting on missions
The Levelling Up the United Kingdom White Paper sets out the Government’s long-term programme for addressing geographic disparities across the United Kingdom. The Government concludes in the White Paper that no single policy or intervention can achieve levelling up on its own. Instead, it requires action from both the public and private sectors and cuts across almost all areas of central and local government – from education, criminal justice and health to transport, planning and the economy. Central to setting the right ambitions and driving change are the twelve cross-cutting missions set out below. The White Paper explained that the missions do not limit or constrain the Government’s ambitions, but rather represent the first priorities in a medium-term, continuously evolving and collaborative programme across the UK.
