The Yorkshire flag
York Central MP Rachael Maskell has called for Government support for a Yorkshire-wide devolution deal.
She told the House of Commons about her county: “We desperately need investment.
“We will be leaving the European Union in just 14 months’ time, so we need the leverage of Yorkshire’s size.
“If it comes together, it can bring in the trade and inward investment we desperately need so we do not end up with not just a north-south divide but an east-west divide as we start to become the poor relative of the rest of the nation”.
