Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Keir Starmer and Karen Bradley

Wednesday 4th September 2024 Commons Chamber

[Dame Karen Bradley (Staffordshire Moorlands) (Con)]

Those of us from Staffordshire Moorlands are immensely proud of our beautiful area and unique identity. Can the Prime Minister guarantee that we will not be forced into a devolution deal or local government reorganisation against our will?

[The Prime Minister]

It is very important that local people have a say, but it is equally important that we devolve to those who have skin in the game. One of the ways in which we can restart our economy is by making sure that those with skin in the game take the decisions that are relevant to them and their area.
