Devolution: ‘Cameron’s Actions Must Match Words’ VOTERS ‘will not accept delays’ or ‘half measures’ on devolution. People clearly want more local freedom from central constraint, wherever they live. And to get better results for the economy and public services, devolution has to be to cities. That is the clear message that leaders from the UK’s Core Cities (Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield) have issued to First Secretary of State, William Hague MP. Hague, the Leader of the House of Commons, has been charged by PM David Cameron with delivering devolution and constitutional change following the Scottish Referendum ‘No’ result. The leaders welcomed a statement from the Prime Minister saying that the UK’s great cities must be ‘empowered’ following the close run Scottish referendum. But they said: ‘Our communities, our voters, will not accept delays based on constitutional wrangles, or half measures delivered through political compromise.’ Manchester Town Hall The Core Cities Cabinet has issued the following letter to William Hague MP: corecities Source: manchesterconfidential.co.uk/ manchesterinnews/devolution-camerons-actions-must-match-words/
