Luciana Berger – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Deputy Prime Minister

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Luciana Berger on 2014-07-15.

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what the criteria were for the choice of representation on the Northern Futures Board announced on 4 July 2014.

Mr Nick Clegg

As explained in my reply of 15 July 2014 (Official Report) Column Ref: 591W the aim of our Northern Futures initiative is to facilitate a new kind of conversation about how we rebalance our economy. We did not announce a “Northern Futures Board” on July 4th and there are no plans to create one. However, Liverpool is strongly encouraged to join the Northern Futures conversation by submitting ideas to the email address northernfutures@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk
