In conversation with Andy Burnham

As part of our series of events covering the 2021 elections for the devolved regions, the Institute for Government was delighted to welcome The Rt Hon Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester since 2017.

Seeking re-election on 6 May, Andy Burnham reflected on his first term as mayor, on the outlook for the Greater Manchester region and on how he would like to see the powers and responsibilities of 'metro mayors' develop.

Andy Burnham was in conversation with Akash Paun, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government. 

Andy Burnham has been Mayor of Greater Manchester since May 2017. Previously he served in the government of Prime Minister Gordon Brown as Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Culture Secretary, Health Secretary and Shadow Home Secretary. He was MP for Leigh from 2001–17.
