Proceeding contribution from Austin Mitchell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Growth White Paper.


Local Growth White Paper

The Secretary of State's words about localism will ring rather hollow on Humberside, where we have just had to face the postponement of improvements to the A160 in order to ease the bottlenecks building up around Immingham, Britain's busiest port. Will he follow up on what he said to my hon. Friend the Member for Scunthorpe (Nic Dakin) about the Humberside economic partnership? Business and the chamber of commerce want a pan-Humber economic partnership, but the local authorities do not seem able to agree. Which side is the Secretary of State going to be on?
