Devolution in England

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 March 2015. It occurred during Estimates day on Devolution in England.

I agree with my hon. Friend that many questions about the deal in Greater Manchester need to be asked and answered, and locally elected Members of Parliament should be involved in that process. Is it not crucial, however, that if we are to join up health and social care, there should be accountability to local elected politicians for the spending of the money? Is that important issue not embedded in the whole process?
