Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

Devolution has been a bedrock of growth in Greater Manchester, and going further can only help us go faster, from transport policy to regeneration and the co-ordination it takes at regional and local level to keep my constituents healthy and safe. As I made clear in my opening remarks, the more autonomy we obtain, the more we can deliver. That is why this legislation cannot represent the heights of our ambition or an end to the journey; it is the next step.
