During questions to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Martin invited the Secretary of State, Greg Clark MP, to meet him and council leaders to discuss northern Lincolnshire’s contribution to the northern powerhouse project. The Secretary of State welcomed this opportunity and indicated his hope that the invitation will include fish and chips in Cleethorpes.
Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con)

Greg Clark
I am always keen to meet my hon. Friend. Despite the fact that I have moved from one Department to another, I hope the invitation to fish and chips in Cleethorpes still stands.
