This is the board of our Local Enterprise Partnership:

Post-Brexit, the vast majority of this board is having trouble: housebuilding slowing down, AgustaWestland talking of massive redundancies, universities losing EU funding and students, and many of them have cross-interests and common interests that are going to be very fragile (several have nuclear power interests).

How can we be sure that they will not put their own interests first in tough times when funding is tight?

If, given their interests, they had to decide between, say, supporting their direct or indirect business interests or supporting small and isolated rural communities which would you expect them to choose?
