Asked by: Roger Mullin (Scottish National Party - Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath)
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with Ministers of the Scottish Government on City Deals in Scotland.
Answered by Andrew Percy
The UK and Scottish Governments are ambitious for all our cities and regions. I am therefore pleased that we are currently negotiating a City Deal with Edinburgh and South East Scotland.
My Ministerial colleagues remain in contact with the Scottish Government on City Deal matters. And on 30 June, My Noble Friend Lord Dunlop met Keith Brown to discuss this agenda.
