Local Government: Devolution

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what criteria are used to judge City Region bids.

Answer

There are no prescriptive criteria in place to assess bids from local areas. All deals are bespoke and based on proposals brought forward by local areas which then form the basis for negotiation. The Government will consider submissions from all places that have strong, credible devolution proposals, including governance.
