Local Government: Devolution

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will publish details of the fiscal devolution and retention requests made to his Department in 2015; and which such requests (a) were approved and (b) are still in development and (c) were refused.

Answer

The list of places that sent in devolution proposals was published on Friday 11th September and is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/landmark-devolution-bids-submitted-from-right-across-the-country.
