Written Question
Local Government: Yorkshire and the Humber
Monday 17th July 2017

Asked by: John Grogan (Labour - Keighley)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what progress he is making on a devolved settlement for Yorkshire.

Answered by Jake Berry

In 2015 Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield agreed a devolution deal with government. Each twice reaffirmed this commitment when consenting to parliamentary orders.

It is now for those local councils consult on the new powers.

While devolution discussions are ongoing elsewhere in Yorkshire, government remains committed to the existing South Yorkshire deal.
