by authorities in greater manchester. by passing andy burnham, talking to some of the local council leaders and then agreeing a package of support for them. i don't know if that will definitely go ahead, but that will definitely go ahead, but that would be the logic of what is being suggested at the moment and we will find out from the prime minister about the total financial sums that will be available in greater manchester. but interestingly, when the package was agreed in lancashire, a couple of the district councils within that area we re the district councils within that area were saying that unless they signed up collectively to what was on offerfrom the signed up collectively to what was on offer from the government, they said they would be picked off and the area would get less than a neighbouring area, so there will be some suspicion among greater manchester mps that that is what the experience in their region. the government certainly will not want andy burnham to get any kind of premium for standing up to them

andy burnham, the greater manchester mayor and borisjohnson had the greater manchester mayor and boris johnson had a the greater manchester mayor and borisjohnson had a telephone call and at that call, although initially the councils agreed they were arguing for £75 million in extra support, the figure of £65 million was put forward by greater manchester but the government wouldn't budge. so there is a £5 million gap in the end on what greater manchester would have accepted and what the government was prepared to give. for that reason, it would appear the talks have broken down and the government is now moving to imposition. 0ne broken down and the government is now moving to imposition. one of the reasons i should say they are so sensitive to moving further up the scale in terms of business support is that active talks with others including yorkshire, they fell if it looked as though greater manchester was made a special case then other areas may ask for more themselves or it would be seen they were being unfairto it would be seen they were being unfair to those areas, lancashire a

now, the leaders of greater manchester we re the leaders of greater manchester were prepared to compromise come they offer to settle for 65 million to supportjobs they offer to settle for 65 million to support jobs and they offer to settle for 65 million to supportjobs and livelihoods, the government insisted on 60 million, but rather than finding the £5 million extra, the prime minister pulled the plug on negotiations, and then this afternoon, took 38 million off the table. what a petty, vindictive, callous response in a national crisis, mr speaker. the prime minister may think he's punishing the politicians, in fact, he's punishing the people of greater manchester, mr speaker, and this is the prime minister who has blown 150 million on face masks that weren't suitable for nhs staff, 130 million on testing kits that turned out to be unsafe and had to be recalled, and spending £7,000 a day on co nsulta nts and spending £7,000 a day on consultants as part of his failing 12 billion test and trace programme. no given test entries traces broken antivirus is out of control, i've a lwa ys ant

on the greater manchester side. i think it is a bit of a shame, really, because it has created a bit of a divide. yesterday they were showing two tiers on the app and things like that. and then theyjust said finally, eventually, you are all locked down. millions in the north—west are now watching their step with these new rules. but many say they are confused, worried about putting a foot wrong. philip norton, bbc news, apperley bridge. you can see the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, along with the government's michael gove, on the andrew marr show at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning on bbc one. the latest government figures show there were 16,171 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week, is now 16,372. 822 people are being admitted to hospital on average each day over the past week. this number doesn't include scotland. 150 deaths were reported — that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—i9 test.

taxi driver john out what is coming next for greater manchester. taxi driverjohn says four months, the tighter rules here compared to many other parts of the country have meant fewer passengers. he is worried about the possibility of even more restrictions. we need help up in the north, if you want to bring the things in, you know, we need financial backing otherwise it is going to be even worse again. this has been going on for a long time now and nothing seems to be resolved. i know covid is not going to disappear overnight but people who work, whether it be in pay—as—you—go unemployment, self—employed, businesses, they'll need help, otherwise... they still have bills to pay. four days, politicians here and in london have been trying to reach an agreement, and the region's labour mayor andy burnham has a gives the government of exaggerating manchester's rise in covid cases there is more restrictions must mean more financial support. what we need is a fairfinancial financial support. what we need is a fair financial framework, if the gover

talks between number 10 and the mayor of greater manchester continue. both say coronavirus case levels are concerning and want a solution. agreeing the right response will prove more difficult. jonathan blake, bbc news. we've just received the latest testing figures for the whole of the uk. 16,982 people were tested over the past 2a hours. the daily number of new people testing positive, that is of today. the total number of people who have been tested 722,409. so those figures are just in now. 16,982 people have tested positive in the past 24—hour is. so what if the situation in terms of hospital admissions and care in manchester? because of course those figures are being debated between andy burnham and number10 being debated between andy burnham and number 10 downing street. we asked dominic used to talk us through. our health correspondent, dominic hughes, has been looking at the figures around coronavirus cases in greater manchester. we know that the latest data shows that infection rates in the city of manchester itself are actually falling. acr

why does this government hate greater manchester?! also on this programme: the government is heavily defeated in the lords over a bill allowing ministers to break international law. and mps demand changes to what's taught at school as they mark black history month. and yet the government has refused campaigning organisations like the black curriculum's request to see our curriculum change. the toughest level of coronavirus restrictions, tier three, are to be imposed on greater manchester. it follows the failure of talks between ministers and the mayor, andy burnham. local leaders had been arguing for £75 million in financial support. at a downing street news conference, borisjohnson confirmed that pubs and bars which do not serve meals will close and there would be additional restrictions on households mixing. so far, only the liverpool city region and lancashire have been moved into the third tier. well, late on tuesday night, the health secretary made a statement to mps. in greater manchester, there have been more coronavirus infec

we have tried to be proportionate in greater manchester. in the first period of lockdown, we were one of the lowest enforcing areas in the country because we saw huge amounts of compliance from people right across greater manchester. since we've had the local restrictions in place for around about ten weeks, we have ended up enforcing more and we've issued 563 notices in that period, because there is a hard core of people that just want to disobey the rules. acutally, we get a lot of people trying their absolute actually, we get a lot of people trying their absolute hardest here to comply, what are you doing about those people who are breaking the rules? most of the things that we're dealing with come from reports from members of the public. a further 15 people have died from coronavirus in the past 2a hours in scotland. four more residents have died in an outbreak at a care home in west lothian. operators hc—one confirmed 11 people have now died from covid—19 at redmill care home in east whitburn. nhs lothian said it was attempting to

talks between number 10 and the mayor of greater manchester continue. both say coronavirus case levels are concerning and want a solution. agreeing the right response will prove more difficult. jonathan blake, bbc news. what is the case with the actual numbers? we have seen the row between andy burnham and number 10 downing street. dominic hughes has been looking at the figures. we know that the latest data shows that infection rates in the city of manchester itself are actually falling. across greater manchester which includes another nine boroughs, for example here in salford, those rates are rising slightly. so it is a mixed picture but it's still way off areas like derry, nottingham and liverpool. but the key thing really isn't the infection rate. the key thing is, who is getting ill and how badly they are falling ill with the virus. for example we know that if lots of otherwise fit and well students in their 20s fall ill, that doesn't have a massive impact on the health service. but if people with underlying health conditions or older people start

it's not just greater manchester, if extra money was required. it's notjust greater manchester, of course, south yorkshire tomorrow will have more talks about whether extra restrictions should be brought in their too. but i think politicians of all parties will not be thanked if they can't get together and come up with a solution. 0k, vicki young, many things, in westminster. —— many thanks. let's take a look at the latest government figures. they show there were 16,982 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 2a—hour period. the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week is now 16,959. 67 deaths were reported — that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. that means on average in the past week, 117 deaths were announced every day. it takes the total number of deaths so far across the uk to a3,6a6. thousands of people have taken part in rallies across france to express outrage at the beheading of a teacher in a suspected islamist attack. samuel paty was killed near paris on friday, after

this is on the situation in greater manchester. vinnie says that the government's reaction to manchester is a spiteful one. they are punishing manchester, that was the use that misty used, and using us asa the use that misty used, and using us as a warning to other regions to accept the offer or else. alan in the e—mail says andy burnham is not speaking for all of the people of greater manchester. this opportunist is on an ego trip, playing with people's lives. marilyn says they are getting at andy burnham through the manchester people, they don't like anybody standing up to them because they are surrounded by yes—men. they need to get a grip, we are going under and they don't care. one more from sasha, while labour may andy burnham have been wasting time on his unsuccessful political crusade, covid has been continuing to drive through the population of manchester, relentlessly. if you are getting in touch, you are very welcome, send an e—mail or you can message me on twitter or instagram. lord sedwill, who was the most senio

greater manchester believe this is simply a way of trying to bypass the labour mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, and are worried that perhaps there will be a position of divide and rule, keir starmer took up the cudgels at prime minister's questions and said borisjohnson was trying to set one council against another. to be perfectly honest, this is perhaps a natural consequence of taking a regional approach. you need to get into protracted negotiations sometimes with political opponents but as johnson very strongly sticking to the idea, but there is low prevalence of a virus into tighter restrictions, but that has tended to mean dealing with authorities in the north of england, and again there is a political challenge as to whether he is listening closely enough to the people of those areas. so by the time we get to the weekend there will be millions more people in the tier 3 restrictions. do you get any sense there is some forward planning going on in political circles, by which i mean all this rancour and division we are talking about today of the scientists are saying the polit

these signs in greater manchester haven't aged well. on friday, restrictions for the 2.8 million people living here will tighten once again. pubs will close, travel in and out of the area is not advised. local leaders have demanded more funding to help the lowest paid workers, who will be hit hardest by tier 3 closures. i think andy burnham has done a greatjob, sticking up for the people of manchester. i think that it's necessary. someone needs to listen to the people, and so why not manchester? for ten days, the politicians had been deadlocked. the labour mayor of greater manchester said he'd accept a support package of £65 million. the government offered 60. there was no agreement. and this was andy burnham finding out the news during his own press conference, yesterday. so it's going to be £20 million only, and they are going to try and pick off individual councils. from crowd: disgraceful! boo! an absolute disgrace! i mean, it's brutal, to be honest, isn't it? this isn't the way, this is no way to run the country in a national cri

of greater manchester. some see that as an attempt to bypass the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham. keir starmer accused borisjohnson of pitching one council against the other. secondly, there is a question ofa other. secondly, there is a question of a bailout for transport for london. borisjohnson of a bailout for transport for london. boris johnson described of a bailout for transport for london. borisjohnson described the labour mayor of london sadiq khan is bankrupt. sadiq khan for his part has suggested that borisjohnson is being vindictive. let's go to south yorkshire. it is being reported that the deal went quite smoothly, but not as smoothly as all that. a leader of the rotherham council area has suggested they were given a take it or leave it deal and had the government been listening they would have got more support. in a meeting between health minister and labour leader in the area people were asking for clarification as to whether people should go on holiday. first they said yes, then no

we have tried in greater manchester, we we re have tried in greater manchester, we were one of the lowest enforced areas in the country because we saw huge amounts of compliance from people across greater manchester. since we've had the local restrictions in place around about ten weeks, we have ended up enforcing more and issue 506 e3 notices in that period —— 563. we get a lot of people trying their absolute hardest to comply, what are you doing about those people who are breaking the rules? most of the things that we're dealing with come from members of the public. france is in shock today after the murder of a teacher in the outskirts of paris. the teacher, who has now been identified as 47—year—old samuel paty, was beheaded near the school where, earlier this month, he had shown his pupils cartoons of the prophet muhammad during a discussion about freedom of expression. the killer, an 18—year—old of chechen origin, was shot dead by police. nine people including his parents have been arrested. lucy williamson reports. the horror of this attack spread slowly through the qui

why this —— does this government he had greater manchester? —— hate greater manchester. i am disappointed to hear his tone. it is a very difficult time for many people in this country, but what we need is people acting in a constructive spirit and that is what the communities secretary is actively offering to do. greater manchester is being treated exactly the same as every part of a united kingdom. these are national support scheme is put in place that help the most vulnerable in our society. he raised a numberof vulnerable in our society. he raised a number of questions. there are national schemes to protect businesses, protect employees and to provide support to his local authority. later, a tory former minister urged the government not to "balance the books" and to provide more support to businesses in tier! who are still unable to open. here's caroline nokes‘ question to stephen barclay. it is not just it is notjust businesses in tier 2 and tier 3 that are affected. some businesses in tier! are suffering from a total lot of —— loss of business. does he agree t

for greater manchester that would mean £22 million. this is just to fund contact tracing, enforcement and helping the clinically vulnerable. on top of that, lancashire and liverpool city region also agreed extra packages worth millions but talks on similar funding for greater manchester have stalled. are you withdrawing the extra what you called generous offer, is it now off the table? and what do you say to the mayor of greater manchester who has accused you of grinding down communities through these negotiations? i bitterly regret any restrictions that lead to damage to businesses and to people's lives, of course i do. the funds are there, they're massive. what we couldn't do, i hope people understand, was to do a deal with greater manchester that would have been out of kilter with the agreements we had already reached with merseyside and with lancashire. later downing street clarified that the offer of £60 million was still on the table. other areas including teesside and south yorkshire are locked in their own battle with the gove

, the mayor of greater manchester trading figures... what is the latest data? it is difficult to be sure at the local level like in greater manchester because in the past, a lot of these figures used to be published quite regularly on a daily basis, but it is now much more difficult to follow what is happening locally. i believe that there is some evidence that case numbers may be going down in manchester but i'm not hundred percent sure of that. what i can say is that this very rapid increase in cases that we saw towards the end of september does seem to be slowing somewhat. there is a problem though and that was the glitch from about a couple of weeks ago which meant that it was quite difficult to be absolutely sure of what the figures we re absolutely sure of what the figures were doing for a period of a week or so. were doing for a period of a week or so. but on balance, it looks as though case numbers across the country are declining, or at least the increase is slowing down and maybe in some areas, declining. lets move on to viewe

a deadline to break the deadlock — leaders in greater manchester have until midday to agree a deal taking the region into the highest level of covid restrictions in england. the problem is the government are not funding local areas to close lots of things, and therefore, in my view, it is unlikely that tier 3 is going to have the effect that the government was saying. do you live in manchester? are you backing your local leaders or national leaders at westminster? how do you feel about going into tier 3 restrictions? get in touch on twitter and instagram, or e—mail tier 3 restrictions? get in touch on twitterand instagram, or e—mail me. ireland is to impose its highest level of coronavirus restrictions in what the country's leader described as "probably europe's strictest regime". heathrow becomes the first uk airport to offer covid testing for all departing passengers with the result in around one hour. and president trump agrees to another tv election debate with rivaljoe biden but complains about new rules which will see microphones muted for part of the debate. a deadline of midda

why does this government hate greater manchester? >> mr. speaker, it is disappointing to hear the gentleman's tone. it is a difficult time for many people in this country, as we evolve our response to this virus. when it people acting in a constructive spirit. that is what the secretary is offering to do. i hope these conversations are happening as we speak. >> this is the analysis of bbc's rob watson of the follow-up between westminst and the leaders in manchester. >> what we have seen in front of our very eyes is a breakdown of the political consensus over how you deal with covid, which is an immensely serious. in addition, critics might say the government's policy of trying to get a local, regional approach is in some disarray, and there is political danger to boris johnson. he is unashamedly proudl a prouy populist in -- populist politician. people in the manchester area are more likely to side with their local politicians, asking for more money to help with businesses. >> let's be clear, boris johnson has e power to impose these restri

as the figure he calculated that greater manchester needs. we don't know where those numbers come from, we asked him for a breakdown of the costings, so maybe it is fair to be saying that, should all have been gambled £5 million? is a very sombre looking andy burnham on the guardian. here, you look at the political side of this and perhaps the same question to you about that £5 million from a political point of view. when we're looking at is cut in the government have just paid the extra 5 million to get this over with? the other way of looking at is of the regions will then say they more. only £5 million isa then say they more. only £5 million is a lot of money to an ordinary person but in government terms it's really very little. politically it so really very little. politically it so important for the government because liverpool city region and lancashire already in tier 3 lockdowns and they effectively went down without too much of a fight all said to the show in recent days. at the government is keyed to have its £8 per capita for

across greater manchester, up slightly, but certainly not doubling every nine days. andy has a straightforward choice. is he going to put public health and the economy of the people of greater manchester first? if he is, then we can secure agreement today. the government says there's been nearly 17,000 more cases of coronavirus in the uk reported in the last 2a hours and a further 67 people have died. vigils and rallies are held across france in a show of solidarity with the teaching profession following the killing of a teacher on friday. a convicted murderer, who helped stop last november's terror attack on london bridge, is to be considered for release from prison ten months early. and no bail—out required for spurs as harry kane scores twice to give tottenham a healthy lead against west ham with gareth bale watching on from the bench. sportsday is in half an hour. the labour mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has continued to clash with the government over lockdown restrictions for the region. mr burnham wants greater financial support if the strictest

certainly in greater manchester that won't be the case. so there are some questions for the government about that strategy. the labour party and parliament will try to force a vote which would create a framework for any areas going into tier 3 promising people who couldn't work 80% of their salary, like their originalfurlough work 80% of their salary, like their original furlough scheme. it'll be interesting to see if any conservatives side with that today. thanks, nick. we have one of those greater manchester mps, lisa nandy from the labour party, at 7:10am, talking about the extra money from government, and we will speak to the communities minister, robert jenrette, who was here on monday and, obviously... louise: we will speak to robert jenrette today. in other news... scientists have developed a tool for predicting who is most likely to develop long—covid — the long—lasting impact of coronavirus infection. the researchers at king's college london, and the health company zoe, hope it can be used to identify patients that might ben

this part of greater manchester, the whole of the greater manchester, the whole of the greater manchester region, was put into tier two region yesterday but there was an expectation they would have to move to tier three because of rising cases and that was expected to be agreed at a meeting between local leaders in government this morning but it appears there is no such agreement yet partly because of the level of support on offer for workers who would be disrupted by the closures that will be necessary under tier three, the highest restriction levels. in terms of how that meeting went, let me read you a little bit from sean fielding, the leader of 0ldham council down the road who says the greater manchester meeting is now was a masterclass in how not to do it. he says the opening line from the government was we either do tier three with you or we either do tier three with you or we will impose it. and he has raised the possibility that the support is not there for workers and that's why they haven't been able to agree so far. the council leader here in bolton had this to say to us a litt

across greater manchester, up slightly, but certainly not doubling every nine days. andy has a straightforward choice. is he going to put public health and the economy of the people of greater manchester first? if he is, then we can secure agreement today. the government says there have been nearly 17,000 more cases of coronavirus in the uk reported in the last 2a hours, and a further 67 people have died. debate over possible further lockdown restrictions in wales that could last for up to three weeks. an announcement could be made in the next 2a hours. vigils and rallies are held across france after a teacher was beheaded in an islamist attack close to his school in a paris suburb on friday. calls from the new archbishop of york for the church of england to "change", as he tells the bbc of his "deep sorrow" at the church's failings around child abuse. and in half an hour here on bbc news, the travel show drops in on rome as it prepares to mark 150 years since becoming italy's capital city. good evening. welcome to bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the labour mayor of g

in some parts of greater manchester, case numbers each day have been falling. today the government at westminster came up with some forecasts. it said based on current trends, by october 28, all three intensive care beds in greater manchester, the area would be used up. going ahead to november the 12th, all the extra surge capacity which could be bound, extra ventilators and beds, would be used up ventilators and beds, would be used up on current trends. this is a projection based on lots of different variables, how people will behave and how many cases there will behave and how many cases there will be so hard to be certain. all eyes will be on these new lockdowns announced in wales and the republic of ireland and northern ireland before that, to see what impact it has. you go back to march and april when the first big lockdown was announced, it took at least three weeks to have an impact on hospital admissions in numbers and start bringing them down, so it will take time for any of this to take effect. of course, with an economic impact as well, that might af

this is about so much more than greater manchester. but people will watch tonight and say if the government is prepared to inflict this level of harm on its people in the middle of a pandemic in one part of the country, they will be prepared to do with the people in all parts of the country as well. and the result will be a winter of hardship for millions of people. the people of greater manchester tonight feel that they have been abandoned by this government. and that my constiuents in edinburgh west and people up and down this country will be wondering if they will be abandoned next. thank you. it is impossible to describe today's events without using un—parliamentary language. but out of deference to you, i will settle for a complete shamble. the definition of insanity is to continue to do the same thing overand overagain in the hope that it will turn good. we have had three months of interventions from greater manchester. which have yielded very little results indeed. i cannot help but fear that the medicine is worse than the dis

that's the reality on friday in greater manchester. but their rent and their mortgage won't be lower, their food and their heating bills won't be lower — and that could last for months. why can't the prime minister and the chancellor understand that? stop bargaining with people's lives, stop dividing communities and provide the support that's needed in manchester. borisjohnson set out the hundreds of millions of pounds that had been provided to greater manchester. and yesterday, the mayor of greater manchester was offered a further £60 million, which he turned down, mr speaker — with no encouragement, i may say, to support from the right honourable gentleman. so, i can tell the house today, mr speaker, that that cash will be distributed. and it would be sent out through the local boroughs. but keir starmer wasn't impressed. this is a prime minister that can pay £7,000 a day for consultants on track and trace — which isn't working — that can find £43 million for a garden bridge that was never built but who can't find £5 mill

i read last night about manchester and greater manchester, when you read the different figures, you get contradictory reports. so, i don't know the answer to that.|j contradictory reports. so, i don't know the answer to that. i don't think anybody knows for sure. finally, are you finding people are behaving differently when they come on to this site? are people more aware of social distancing? most definitely. we have seen a big drop off, even though we've got a one—way system. the holiday caravan park industry, you can self—isolate in your own caravan, motorhome or tent, and you can enjoy your holiday with yourfamily in and you can enjoy your holiday with your family in that bubble, just head out onto the fells and away you go. and the freshest of air around here! thank you, david. people are taking those extra precautionary measures themselves. just a reminder of where you stand if you have to change holiday plans, if there is a circuit break in the area planning to visit, they will have to give you a refund because you won't be allowed to go there, essentially. everywhere else, i

yes, so, this part of greater manchester, the whole of the greater manchester, the whole of the greater manchester region was put into tier two yesterday but there was an expectation that quickly they would have to move to tier three because of rising case numbers. that was expected to be agreed at a meeting between local leaders and the government this morning but there is no such agreement yet partly because of the level of support on offer for workers disrupted by the closures that would be necessary under the highest levels of restriction, tier three, and let me read you a bit from sean fielding, the leader of 0ldham council down from sean fielding, the leader of 0ld ham council down the from sean fielding, the leader of 0ldham council down the road. he said the greater manchester meeting just now was a masterclass in how not to do it. he said the opening line from the government was we either do tier three with you or we will impose it, and he has raised the possibility that the support isn't there, for workers, and that's why they haven't been able to agree so why they haven't bee

remember that huge row with greater manchester. they wanted more than would have been the case on a per capita basis. they said that was for good reason, because of the need for support for a greater number of businesses. it 110w a greater number of businesses. it now looks as though, to try to avoid these type of arguments, the government is going to use a formula which would see, on a per head basis, all regions moving into tier 3 getting a similar level of support. that looks like what has been done in south yorkshire. so what happens to the 60 million for greater manchester? this is hugely controversial, because, as you are saying, some, not all, bits of the conservative mps have accused andy burnham of putting his ego ahead of the welfare of the people of manchester. but, equally, labour mps in greater manchester are saying that the government is now indulging in divide and rule. as we heard, robertjenrick, the community secretary, saying that 60 million has greater manchester's name on it. that support is still available. tha

i understand there were talks at official level between those in whitehall and those in greater manchester yesterday. then it seemed like there have been some progress, downing street told us at lunchtime today that they had a quote, reached out towards the mayors office this morning, and a telephone call had been agreed between the two sides for tomorrow morning. but a short time after that, a spokesperson for the mayor said that nothing had been agreed. that leaves people wondering, i think it is safe to suggest, and the base of those two state m e nts suggest, and the base of those two statements that there is no agreement talk tomorrow morning or before then and certainly andy burnham's side have made it clear that they are not going to make any further comment today. on one level, that might sound like a tedious running running commentary on the logistics of negotiation and it is to appoint, but also if these two sides cannot agree on the timing of a phone call between them when there are such important issues at stake here, which could have huge consequences, not least for the people

that is the reality on friday in greater manchester. but their rent and their mortgage will not be lower. their food and their heating bills will not be lower, and that could last for months. why can the prime minister and the chancellor not understand that? they should stop bargaining with people's lives, stop dividing communities, and provide the support that is needed in manchester. >> i am very proud that this government have already given greater manchester £1.1 billion in support for business, £200 million in extra un-ring-fenced funding, £50 million to tackle infections in care homes, £20 million for test and trace, and another £22 million for the local response that we announced yesterday. and yesterday, the mayor of greater manchester was offered a further £60 million, which he turned down, having had no encouragement to support it, i may say, from the right honorable and learned gentleman. i can tell the house today that that cash will be distributed to the boroughs of greater manchester. i thank right honorable and hono
