Context
The hon. Lady asks about the Government's plans to ensure that every part of the UK receives equal opportunities for growth through infrastructure spending.
What steps is the Minister taking to ensure an equitable distribution of infrastructure investment between London and the north of England? Is it right that this House should hear first rather than the newspapers?
Infrastructure is a top priority for the Government. We will publish the national infrastructure strategy alongside the Budget, containing our ambition to level up across the United Kingdom, ensuring every part has growth opportunities. The work reviewing frameworks and processes for allocating investment spending is underway, and more details will be provided in updates from the Chancellor and other Ministers as they emerge.
