Lords ChamberMy Lords, are there any other examples of deadlock elsewhere in the country blocking progress towards city deals?
My Lords, the only other example until recently was in relation to Tyneside, where south Tyneside, Gateshead and the Durham authorities, including Sunderland, could not agree with north Tyneside; but we moved forward with north Tyneside on its own and with special arrangements in relation to the transport authority.
