Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the implications for Northern Ireland of the decision to transfer responsibility for local economic growth from HM Treasury to Number 10 North.

The Prime Minister wants power, opportunity and investment spread more fairly across the country, so that every town, city and community can share in economic success. No10 North is about taking power and decision-making out of Westminster and putting it closer to people's lives.
