Proceeding contribution from Gordon Birtwistle (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 November 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Pennine Lancashire Local Enterprise Partnership.


Pennine Lancashire Local Enterprise Partnership

The hon. Gentleman may remember that when he was, I think, a member of Hyndburn council and I was a member of Burnley council, we put forward multi area agreements—the right hon. Member for Blackburn (Mr Straw) will remember those. Pennine Lancashire put forward its MAA and I had the pleasure of coming to No. 10 Downing street to sign it off with the previous Prime Minister. I do not think that the west Lancashire MAA was ever done. Why are we, in Pennine Lancashire, being held back while we wait for the rest of Lancashire to come up with some sort of solution to what they need?
