Lisa Nandy
told Gove

"is that it"?


Now on the Parliament Ch.


[Long-promised plans to close the gap between
rich and poor parts of the country have been
announced by the government.
The strategy, unveiled by Levelling Up
Secretary Michael Gove,
will take until 2030 and aims to improve services
such as education,
broadband and transport.

Mr Gove said it would "shift both money and power
into the hands of working people".
But Labour said the plans contained
no new money and little fresh thinking.
Mr Gove told the BBC the strategy was
not aimed at providing new funding but
ensuring it is spent effectively on local priorities.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson put "levelling up"
at the heart of the Conservatives' election-winning manifesto in 2019.]
