CASE FOR THE NORTH EAST CAMPAIGN

That this House supports the campaign Case for the North East, that has been launched by the Newcastle Journal to preserve the regional identity, pride and voice of the North East whose contribution to the UK counts even more with the growth of new green technologies and manufacturing industries already established in the region; notes that the North East currently contributes around ??41 billion annually to the national economy; shares the Journal's view that the country's leaders need to do more to safeguard this contribution and offer targeted measures to get the most out of its businesses; and further endorses the need for recognition at the highest level that the North East's cultural renaissance and regional voice should be further developed, supported and strengthened.
