AN MP was today due to tell the Treasury that Yorkshire needs further devolution to make way for progress on plans to install a rail link to Leeds-Bradford Airport.

Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) is meeting Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander.

At the time, Mr Alexander responded that Mr Mulholland was “absolutely right to say that devolution, city deals and the growth plans we have put in place for every local enterprise partnership area are an incredibly important part of delivering infrastructure.”
