Commons ChamberThat question is best answered by the Department for Transport, but I will write to the hon. Gentleman when I have further details.
I am absolutely delighted to hear that the Minister met the leaders of Lancashire County Council, and Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool councils this morning to discuss the enormous opportunity that devolving transport and skills responsibility to Lancashire presents. Will he and the whole of the Treasury Bench look favourably upon this? It is an opportunity that we are keen to take to deliver for people in Lancashire and South Ribble.
Maybe we could have a meeting with Lancashire MPs as well as district leaders.
