Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Anna McMorrin and Oliver Dowden

Wednesday 12th September 2018 Commons Chamber

[The Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office (Oliver Dowden)]

My hon. Friend, as ever, makes a strong case for his region. The Places for Growth programme demonstrates our commitment to rebalancing the economy by moving Government jobs away from London and the south-east, and the One Public Estate programme is supporting this collaboration. I am pleased to say specifically that the Devon and Torbay partnership expects to deliver 288 jobs and land for 201 homes by 2020.

[Anna McMorrin (Cardiff North) (Lab)]

Business leaders are warning of the disaster of a no deal or a bad deal. Is it not about time that we put this decision—the biggest facing our generation—back to the people for a people’s vote?
