Michael Gove
I will make sure that, if it is not me, another Minister definitely talks to the hon. Gentleman.
Gary Sambrook (Birmingham, Northfield) (Con)
I remember as a schoolboy watching Tony Blair and Gordon Brown fly into Birmingham by helicopter to say that every job at Longbridge would be saved. Seventeen years on, it is this Conservative Government who have given West Works six million quid to provide the new jobs that are needed locally. This Conservative Government will be helping St Modwen and other developers to make sure that we build on the land at Lowhill Lane. Will the Secretary of State visit, with me, the biggest levelling-up project in Birmingham and the west midlands?
Michael Gove
The west midlands is succeeding at last under Conservative leadership, such as that provided by Andy Street and my hon. Friend.
