英国的“升级”政策面临延误，且缺乏长期影响衡量，地方当局承诺到 2023 年支出 104.7 亿英镑，其中仅支出 12.4 亿英镑。 UK's "levelling up" policy faces delays and lacks long-term impact measurement, with local authorities spending only £1.24bn of £10.47bn promised by 2023.

公共账户委员会的报告显示，英国旨在实现区域平等和欠发达地区经济增长的“拉平”政策遭遇了严重拖延，并且缺乏衡量其长期影响的机制。 The UK's "levelling up" policy, aimed at regional equality and economic growth in underdeveloped areas, has encountered significant delays and lacks a mechanism to measure its long-term impact, according to a public accounts committee report. 截至 2023 年 9 月，地方当局仅支出了政府承诺的 104.7 亿英镑中的 12.4 亿英镑。 By September 2023, local authorities had spent only £1.24bn of the £10.47bn promised by the government. 该政策的推迟可能是由于中央政府资金减少导致地方当局的核心支出能力自2010-11年以来下降了27%。 The policy's delay could be attributed to a 27% reduction in local authorities' core spending power since 2010-11 due to reduced central government funding.
