Is Hull and East Yorkshire on the list? The answer, surprise surprise, seems to be no.

Leeds, Manchester, York, Newcastle, Sheffield, Darlington and Aberdeen are to be favoured. At least those making the decisions are consistent. They continue to ignore Hull and East Yorkshire, and our MPs and council leaders of both Hull City and East Riding councils seem incapable - and maybe unwilling - of doing anything about it.
