Would we get a referendum on EU membership Graham?

East Lancs MP calls for 'northern Parliament' (From Lancashire Telegraph)

AN EAST Lancashire MP has called for a 'northern Parliament' after accusing the Government of abandoning the north.
Hyndburn and Haslingden MP Graham Jones said the difference in job losses between the north and the south showed that the Tory Government was not doing enough.
Mr Jones said he wanted powers devolved from Westminster to the north, through a northern assembly or Parliament.
