Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 10 February 2020 to Question 12269 on Devolution: England, when he plans to publish the White Paper on English devolution.
The pandemic has rightly focused attention on tackling Covid-19. However, levelling up remains at the centre of Government’s agenda. We want to give more power to local communities, providing an opportunity for all places to level up.
The Government intends to bring forward the Devolution and Local Recovery White Paper in due course. This will set out how the UK Government will partner with places across the UK to build a sustainable economic recovery and set out our plans for future devolution arrangements.
