"That's what I think regions are about, making central government more accountable and fairer."

Government

"Down in the south, it's how we find the brownfield sites without taking too much land take to meet the tremendous demand for housing, and that's what I've done."

Land

"In the north east, there, they have had quite a bit of government offices moving in. It's not a new policy."

Government

"We are making the fundamental changes. It was like the decent housing target. We said by 2010, we'd have taken a million houses and refurbished them into decent housing."

Houses

"I was the one that brought it in, but not only for the north-east, for every area so we can develop all the regional economies, lift up the national productivity, get greater wealth and share it more evenly."

Wealth

"It's moving in the right direction. It was in decline under the previous administration."

Direction

Doubt

Now

"Refurbishing I've done in the first three years and I'm still giving housing money, of course, to the north."
