Baroness Griffin of Princethorpe (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 June 2025

Debate

Spending Review 2025

Contribution

My Lords, I also wish my noble friend Lord Livermore a very happy, significant birthday. Communities across the country were told for years that they would be levelled up. In practice, regional investment plummeted and long-promised schemes were downgraded or pulled entirely. Does my noble friend agree that while it will take time for people to see the results of regional investment, the money allocated to English city regions and the devolved authorities will enable long-term schemes that provide jobs and growth and are genuinely transformative?
