Labour — Leeds West and Pudsey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 May 2025

Debate

Spending Review: Economic Growth

Contribution

That is an opportune question, because I will be meeting Lord Vallance this afternoon to discuss the work he is taking forward on the Ox-Cam corridor to bring more good jobs, paying good wages, not only to Oxford and Cambridge, but, crucially, to the towns and cities in between. Some of the extra money we are putting into capital investment will absolutely be going to support the huge growth opportunities in that part of the world.
