Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what progress has been made on devolution for Devon and Somerset.

The Government is committed to working with places to generate growth and jobs. This is not a one-size-fits-all process; for example, mayoral governance may be appropriate for cities but not rural counties. We will continue to work with Devon and Somerset to ensure they have the tools to drive growth.
