Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department plans to encourage (a) businesses and (b) organisations in Greater Manchester to sign up to the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter.

Greater Manchester's Good Employment Charter is an initiative conceived by partners in the region. It is an example of how devolution can empower local leaders to create initiatives that are locally driven. The Government remains committed to empowering local places and leaders through the creation of more devolution deals across England.
