DeeGee Nov 2020 8:23am, 12 Nov 2020 20,033 posts	Quote Pin DeeGee [It was the MP for Brigg and Goole, Andrew Percy, for a while. Brigg is a lovely Lincolnshire market-town, but not really "Northern Powerhouse". The "Northern Powerhouse" bit of that particular department has been quietly dropped, it's just "Regional Growth and Local Government" now, presided over by the MP for South Middlesbrough.]
