Labour and the Conservatives will both launch their campaign buses today, with Sir Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak both set to give speeches on Saturday morning.
Andrew Griffith, the science minister, has clarified that each of 30 towns identified by the Conservatives will be handed £20m, rather than this being the total investment.Asked by Sky News how far this cash will really go, he says: 'It's £20m for each of those towns.'The cost of this policy is £600m, it phases in over the next 10 years or so.
'Rishi Sunak's party said it would add the towns - many of which are based in the Midlands and north - to its existing long-term plan for towns, increasing the number that will receive financial support to more than 100.The Tories said local people in each area would decide how the money would be spent, through new town boards composed of community leaders, businesspeople, local government and the local MP.
