Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

Answer

We do not collect data on industrial investment at constituency level. Levelling Up will be achieved through empowering our regions by devolving money, resources, and control away from Westminster.

As a part of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Stockport will benefit from access to £83.9m through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and £100m through the Innovation Accelerators. Stockport has also been awarded grants of more than £28m through the Towns Fund and Future High Streets Fund to support private sector investment.

The Greater Manchester city region, meanwhile, has received a total of over £115m for the academic year 2022/23 in Quality-related research (QR) funding and Higher Education Innovation Funding (HEIF) delivered through Research England.
