Labour — Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 December 2024

Debate

English Devolution

Contribution

I welcome the statement and the White Paper. Centralisation is part of the reason why we are one of the most regionally unequal advanced economies, as IPPR North has set out, but it is important that these strategic authorities are run well. What steps will the Minister take to ensure that they are funded fairly, and what assurances can he give that strategic authorities must demonstrate responsible stewardship of the public finances?
