More than 90% of levelling up funding not yet spent, according to official figures
Labour submitted a freedom of information request to ask the government to confirm how much of the £4.8bn allocated to the fund had been spent.
She compared the cost of the government's decision to give high earners pension tax breaks in the Budget earlier this month to the money it had spent on levelling up. "This is a government impactful, effective and focused," Mr Gove said. "And on the other side, I'm afraid, all we hear is the cackle of impotence."To receive money from the Levelling Up Fund, local authorities can apply for money from the UK government to pay for infrastructure projects. The fund has awarded £3.8bn to 216 projects in total over two rounds.
He suggested the money would have been allocated better by local decision-makers than civil servants in London.
