Answer
The Executive Sub-Group is on Regional Opportunities not just the North West. It will consider the economic needs of regions and the potential for further investment to overcome obstacles to growth and prosperity. We will be co-chairs of the sub-group which will also include the Minister for Employment and Learning, the Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, the Minister of the Environment, and the Minister for Regional Development. While focusing initially on the North West, it will in due course examine other regions with identified economic needs.
