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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to London Council's press release entitled London borough leaders make united call for ‘seat at the table’ in new devolution settlement, published on 3 April 2025, what her policy is on giving a greater role to London boroughs in pan-London governance.

The Government remains committed to engaging local authorities, including London Borough Councils, and the wider local government sector on the detail of our reforms set out in the English Devolution White Paper. As part of this process, it will be important to consider London’s unique devolution settlement, including drawing on existing ways of working between the Greater London Authority and London Boroughs.
