Local Government: Yorkshire and the Humber
(asked on 11th July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what progress he is making on a devolved settlement for Yorkshire.
This question was answered on 17th July 2017
In 2015 Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield agreed a devolution deal with government. Each twice reaffirmed this commitment when consenting to parliamentary orders.
It is now for those local councils consult on the new powers.
While devolution discussions are ongoing elsewhere in Yorkshire, government remains committed to the existing South Yorkshire deal.
