This Government is making huge strides towards rebalancing the economy and empowering local government. Our priority over the last year has been to conclude the original devolution deals and see mayors established in city regions across the country. Where there is agreement between local partners, we would be happy to meet to discuss local ambitions to boost growth and productivity, and hope to be able to provide local areas with more clarity on how best to take forward these ambitions as Government sets out the next stages of its developing Industrial Strategy and our Framework for Devolution.
