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

What guidance his Department issues to local authorities on their membership of local enterprise partnerships; and if he will make a statement.

The Department has provided clear guidance on the membership of Local Enterprise Partnerships through our National Local Growth Assurance Framework.

Each Local Enterprise Partnership is required to set out the membership requirements of their Board and Sub-Boards in a Local Assurance Framework which should be published on their website.
