The Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Parliamentary passage

The Act was first introduced to the House of Commons on 11 May 2022 and received its third reading in the House of Lords on 21 September 2023.[1] It is part of the government's levelling-up policy, and has a vast history to it. The Bill, in its current form, covers a number of different policy areas, and has been labelled as a "mish-mash" of various policy areas and a "Christmas tree Bill" by Baroness Hayman of Ullock.[2] The size and policy areas covered by the Bill have been castigated by many politicians ^[who?]. It was piloted through the Commons by Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and through the Lords by Baroness Scott of Bybrook, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Faith and Communities. The Act received Royal Assent on 26 October 2023.
