Government unveils levelling up plan to transform UK

2 Feb 2022

The government’s flagship Levelling Up White Paper sets out a complete ‘system change’ of how government works in order to level up the UK.

The announcement by Michael Gove, Levelling Up Secretary, includes recommendations taken from Henry Dimbleby’s review towards a National Food Strategy. The Department for Education will work with the Food Standards Agency to pilot measures to ensure greater compliance with the school food standards.

In addition, the government will pilot the Community Eat Well programme, enabling GPs to prescribe exercise and healthy food.
