Andy Burnham, Manchester and No.10 North: How can the prime minister make his devolution agenda succeed?

The first days and weeks of Andy Burnham's premiership have seen the prime minister promise to accelerate the devolution agenda, with the launch of Number 10 North demonstrating his commitment to take power away from London.

But what can the prime minister do to make his devolution agenda succeed? How will No.10 North work constructively with the new Office for the Prime Minister and Cabinet and other Whitehall departments? What does devolution mean for the government's public service agenda? And how will the rest of the country benefit from Burnham's plan to send more power from London to Manchester?

The event brought together an expert panel, including:

Thomas Pope, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government

Luke Raikes, Deputy General Secretary at the Fabian Society

Jennifer Williams, Northern Correspondent at the Financial Times

The event was chaired by Dr Hannah White, CEO of the Institute for Government.
