But the Sunday Express has learnt that in meetings with the Prime Minister, senior Tory backbenchers have won a private commitment to enterprise zones which are expected in Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Budget statement on Wednesday.
Bishop Auckland Conservative MP Dehenna Davison said: “This is a private sector-led way of delivering the levelling up agenda that we promised – much better than trying to just transfer public sector jobs.
“Enterprise zones are places with tax breaks to set up new business and create new jobs and have proven to be highly successful in kickstarting the economy before.”
Some of the most senior figures in the Conservative party are leading calls for Mr Sunak not to increase taxes.
