Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen
My Lords, the problem is that that could interfere with central budget considerations, and then the whole thing becomes a bit muddled.
Baroness Rawlings (Con)
My Lords, the Minister mentioned that the northern powerhouse will be mainly private sector. Will the Government encourage the artistic institutions to move up there more?
Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen
Absolutely. The whole point about the northern powerhouse is that it considers everything in the round—businesses, artistic initiatives and tourism. It is meant to bring financial stability to the country in the round for all interested parties.
