Yorkshire 'aspires to govern'

William Hague was described by David Cameron as the 'greatest living Yorkshireman'

Yorkshiremen and women aspire to "govern the world" and the county must keep its "global role", William Hague has quipped.

The Commons Leader, described by David Cameron as the "greatest living Yorkshireman", to the chagrin of non-Tories, made the joke in response to calls for the county to have more devolved power.
