The Department for Exiting the European Union and the Department for Communities and Local Government are working closely with stakeholders and regional partners across the country, including elected mayors in the North West, to understand issues related to exit and identify any regional implications. The Government will continue to champion devolution to local government and is committed to devolving greater powers to local government where there is economic rationale to do so.
