Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between David Linden and Andrew Stephenson

Tuesday 11th June 2019 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Stephenson]

I am delighted about the Power Up The North campaign. I wholeheartedly support it, and I am very pleased that my Department has been bolstered by the addition of the Under-Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, my hon. Friend the Member for Rossendale and Darwen (Jake Berry), who will help to further our work on the northern powerhouse. The Government are investing £694 million in the Leeds city region through growth deals, creating up to 10,000 jobs, allowing more than 2,000 homes to be built, and creating up to £640 million in public and private investment.

[David Linden (Glasgow East) (SNP)]
