Local Government: Devolution

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether the Government plans to bring forward a framework for devolution within England.

Answer

The Government has adopted a bottom-up and iterative approach to agreeing devolution deals.

This locally-led approach ensures that devolution is targeted to deliver local priorities and provides a real opportunity for areas to take greater control of their future.
