WARRINGTON South MP David Mowat has been handed a new role as part of the recent Government reshuffle.
Mr Mowat has been appointed as a Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Rt Hon Greg Clark MP who has become the Government’s Regional Growth Supremo.
Mr Clark will now be in charge of implementing the recommendations of Lord Heseltine’s report on promoting growth in towns and cities across the UK. He will be working closely with Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) to promote innovative growth ideas.
David said: “This is an exciting new role which I am looking forward to taking on.
“One of the reasons I got into politics was to try to change the mindset that ‘if it’s important, we have to do it in London’. I will be making sure that I push the case for the North West in general and Warrington in particular.”
“Greg will have a budget of a round £2bn a year to dish out to LEPs who come up with good ideas to help create jobs in their local economy.
