That this House warmly endorses the Newcastle Journal's launch of its great North Revolution campaign, a major drive to stimulate the development of an economy truly fit for the 21st century and beyond, agrees that the North East is poised to spearhead a second industrial revolution that builds on its industrial heritage and skilled workforce and which will shape the region's economic and social development for generations to come in fields such as energy, electric vehicles and life sciences; believes that trade unions and business groups in the region have major policy and other contributions to make; and urges Government support for this important initiative.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
