Stronger Towns Fund

Debate between James Brokenshire and Tonia Antoniazzi

Monday 4th March 2019 Commons Chamber

[James Brokenshire]

It is precisely that intent that I have set out. We want towns in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to benefit from the stronger towns fund, building on the success of the city and growth deal initiatives, as I have indicated, and I look forward to continuing that conversation with my hon. Friend.

[Tonia Antoniazzi (Gower) (Lab)]

I join hon. Members from Scotland and Wales across the House in being disappointed at today’s statement. The Secretary of State says that the Government will communicate soon what the deal will be for the devolved nations. Does he realise how insulting today’s statement is? Wales is not an add-on or an extension of England. I hope he realises how upset we all are.
