Regional Planning and Development: Greater Manchester

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what progress she has made on alternative economic strategies for East Manchester; and if she will make a statement.
Answer

The Prime Minister has asked the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to consider, with other Government Departments, whether deprived areas can be equally well served by forms of regeneration other than a regional casino.
