THE north of England receives one of the lowest levels of investment among advanced economies, a leading think tank will warn today.

If the region were a country, Greece would be the only so-called “developed” nation to see less public and private cash pouring in, according to Institute for Public Policy Research North’s (IPPR) latest report.

Britain ranks just 35^th out of the 38 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries in terms of receiving the least investment, researchers found, with nations such as Slovakia, Poland and Hungary all enjoying more.
