    genuinely new, or places that they cut previously and have restored funding? or even worse, that old tory trick of counting places that they had planned on cutting but aren’t and are now therefore classed as ‘new’?

      Or is it like the MNCs that come here with promises of X thousand jobs (over 25 years) and then no-one ever thinks to check up to see how many jobs were actually delivered.
