Our white paper set out a comprehensive, UK-wide analysis of spatial disparities, and committed to publish annual progress reports.
Our commitment to levelling up the whole UK is illustrated by significant investments through the Levelling Up Fund, Community Renewal Fund and UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and partnerships with the devolved governments to deliver Freeports in Scotland and Wales.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
A document issued by the Government laying out its policy, or proposed policy, on a topic of current concern.Although a white paper may occasion consultation as to the details of new legislation, it does signify a clear intention on the part of a government to pass new law. This is a contrast with green papers, which are issued less frequently, are more open-ended and may merely propose a strategy to be implemented in the details of other legislation.
