Rishi Sunak – 2022 Comments on Taking Money from Deprived Urban Areas

The comments made by Rishi Sunak, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, at a Conservative Party campaign event in Tunbridge Wells on 29 July 2022.

I managed to start changing the funding formulas, to ensure that areas like this get the funding that they deserve. We inherited a bunch of formulas from Labour that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that.
