Question
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what discussions he has had with the Leeds City Region Local Enterprise Partnership on devolving powers and responsibilities from central government.
This question was answered on 8th July 2014
I have been in regular dialogue with Leeds City Region LEP to discuss their Strategic Economic plan we have now concluded a Growth Deal with Leeds City Region.
This deal will include £571m from the Government's Local Growth Fund to support economic growth in the area – with £60m of new funding confirmed for 2015/16. This will lead to investment in local transport, housing sites and colleges.
