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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether her Department plans to publish outcomes of annual discussions with combined mayoral authorities.

Outcomes of conversations with Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) are not currently published by government.

From 2025/26, we will introduce Integrated Settlements, starting in Greater Manchester and the West Midlands. Authorities will be monitored against a single outcomes framework that provides a structured approach to defining, measuring, and reporting on the MCAs’ performance on single settlement delivery during the SR period. The outcomes framework will be published by HMG and each of the MCAs.
