Local Government: Yorkshire and the Humber
- Question
-
Her Majesty's Government whether they support (1) a Yorkshire-wide devolution deal, and (2) West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire devolution deals.
- Answer
-
The Government agreed a devolution deal with Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield in 2015, and to which the four councils reaffirmed their commitment in 2016 and 2017 when consenting to Parliamentary Orders establishing the mayoral election for May 2018. It is now for the councils to take the remaining steps - to hold a public consultation on the proposed devolution of powers and consent to the order needed, subject to Parliamentary approval, for the full implementation of the deal.
No further proposals have been put forward to the Government.
