Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has any plans to review the effectiveness of the way the Government shares information with devolved regional governments including metro mayors.
Through my department’s work on agreeing and implementing the Devolution Deals, and on local growth matters more broadly, my officials regularly engage with the mayoral combined authorities.
I also engage with the metro mayors, including recently having met with them all alongside DExEU Minister Kwasi Kwarteng to discuss EU Exit. I will also be speaking with all of the Mayors over the coming weeks to discuss the development of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
