Written Question
Urban Areas: Scotland
Wednesday 10th February 2016

Asked by: John Stevenson (Conservative - Carlisle)

Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with local authorities in Scotland on City Deals.

Answered by David Mundell

I have had very useful discussions with almost every local authority in Scotland since last May, where I have discussed a range of matters, including City Deals and their equivalents.

My officials also work closely with bidding authorities to refine proposals and I was delighted to sign the £250 million Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire deal on 28 January.
