Conservative Party campaign headquarters have denied reports they have told MPs in marginal seats to stop using the phrase " levelling up" due to concerns The Public do not know what it means.
A Conservative source told The Bbc that MPs had " been told the precise opposite" and had instead been told how best to use the phrase based on The Party 's opinion research.

Mr Sunak said: " Through greater investment in local areas, we can grow the economy, create good jobs and spread opportunity everywhere. "
" By reaching even More Parts of the country than before, we will build a future of optimism and pride in people's lives and the places they call home, " he added.
Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove said the investment would " revitalise communities that have historically been overlooked but are bursting with potential".
But Labour's shadow levelling up secretary Lisa Nandy said the fund had been " beset by delays and allegations of favouritism".
" And despite today's announcement, communities across the country are still paying a Tory premium for The Last 13 years, " She Said .
" It takes an extraordinary arrogance to expect us to be grateful for a partial refund on The Money they have stripped out of our communities, which has decimated vital local services like childcare, buses and social care.
" It is time to end this Hunger Games-style contest where communities are pitted against one another and Whitehall ministers pick winners and losers. "
Kevin Bentley , from The Local Government Association, said: " Levelling up should be locally led by evidence of where crucial investment needs to go to, not based on costly competitive bids between areas. "
He also warned fulfilling projects had become more challenging due to rising inflation and costs.
