:01:34. > :01:37.south of the border. The combined authority, it could be
:01:38. > :01:41.the correct thing. Conservatives in the region though
:01:42. > :02:00.say action is needed now to ensure If they get power, and we don't
:02:01. > :02:05.then we would have to focus on unwanted investment.
:02:06. > :02:07.The dust may be settling on the referendum then,
