The Levelling Up White Paper announced that there will be a structured process of visits, at ministerial level, across the whole of the UK in the months following publication of this White Paper, to discuss how levelling up can be successfully achieved in that area and to gather feedback. I look forward to meeting with regional leaders in England and across the UK as part of this process.
