Plans to 'level up' the gaps between rich and poor parts of the country were announced yesterday.
Secretary of state for Levelling Up, Michael Gove, shared the government's strategy to improve services such as transport, education and broadband by 2030.
The strategy also includes plans to invest in British workers, regenerate towns and cities in the North and create a "science and technology superpower".

Speaking in the House of Commons, Michael Gove said: "After two long years of covid, we need to get this country moving at top speed again. We need faster growth, quicker public services and higher wages, and we need to allow overlooked and undervalued communities to take back control of their destiny.
"While talent is spread equally across the United Kingdom, opportunity is not. Our country is an unparalleled success story, but not everyone shares in it. The further a person is from one of our great capitals—whether it is London, Edinburgh, Cardiff or Belfast—the tougher life can be. "
