county-wide bodyidea backed
Vince Cable has backed business leaders who want to set up a Yorkshire-wide organisation to work alongside the new Local Enterprise Partnerships.
The Business Secretary said the pan-Yorkshire body was “exactly the way to make LEPs operational and effective” after being quizzed by Skipton and Ripon Conservative MP Julian Smith.
Senior business leaders want to form the community interest company to ensure there is region-wide co-operation on key issues so Yorkshire’s voice is heard.
