About this episode
Rushcliffe MP James Naish presents five key priorities for the East Midlands to address years of underfunding, as outlined in an inquiry by the East Midlands All-Party Parliamentary Group. These priorities, shared during a Westminster Hall debate, focus on boosting productivity and growth, and include shifting public spending towards transport, testing local hubs for skills and business support, expanding womens health services, positioning the East Midlands as a net-zero leader, and revamping flood funding. Despite a welcome two billion pound transport boost, many of the inquirys ideas remain unacted upon, with MPs from various counties weighing in during the debate and the housing under-secretary pledging the governments commitment to correcting historic shortfalls and driving real progress in the region.
