Question to the Wales Office:
What recent discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the timetable for the delivery of the North Wales growth deal.
Answered by Stuart Andrew - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
I have had regular discussions with my ministerial colleagues regarding the North Wales Growth Deal, especially in light of its significant cross-border aspects.
The benefit of a growth deal is that they are driven by local communities, and as such the timetable is in their hands.
