We are giving local leaders, including mayors in the North West, the tools they need to deliver growth and raise living standards in their areas by devolving power and money from central government.
This includes strong new powers over housing, planning, transport, energy, employment support and a stronger role in joining up public services locally, backed up with integrated and consolidated funding.
Second opposition day debate (part one). Motion that this House notes that the Government's proposed changes to local authority funding will dramatically downgrade the importance of deprivation in deciding the distribution of funding to local authorities and will have a devastating effect on local adult social care funding; further notes that proposed changes will cause even greater reductions in foundation funding and children's social care; and calls on the Government to scrap its Review of Local Authorities' Relative Needs and Resources and to ensure that local authorities are properly funded through a fairer system that properly takes account of deprivation, need and differing council tax bases. Negatived on division (190 to 329). Amendment agreed to on question. Main question, as amended, agreed to. Resolved that this House welcomes the Government's provisional local government finance settlement, which will deliver the biggest year-on-year real terms increase in councils' spending power for a decade; recognises the pressures on adult and children's social care as well as critical local government services, and welcomes the additional £1.5 billion available for social care in 2020-21; notes that the Government has listened to calls for a simpler, up-to-date, evidence-based funding formula and has committed to consult on all aspects of the formula review in spring 2020; further welcomes the Government's ambition to empower communities and level up local powers through a future Devolution White Paper; and welcomes the Government's progress on this agenda already with the £3.6bn Towns Fund and eight Devolution Deals now agreed.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, which regions have agreed or are developing plans for devolved government without the need for an elected mayor.

My Department engages continually with different areas, councils and Local Enterprise Partnerships right across the country, on their ambitions and ideas for driving economic growth and productivity and improving local governance. We have been clear that to secure devolution, areas need to make a significant offer to Government on how they will ensure strong, strategic and accountable leadership across a clear economic geography. To date, in line with this, the most ambitious deals have involved the establishment of directly-elected combined authority mayors. However, as shown by the devolution deal agreed in Cornwall in July 2015 a directly elected Mayor is not always a condition.
The Government’s manifesto committed to "providing clarity across England on what devolution means for different administrations so all authorities operate in a common framework". We aim to provide local areas with this clarity on how best to take forward their local growth and local industrial strategy ambitions over the coming months, and recognise that mayoral governance will not be suitable in all areas.

The six city region mayors elected for the first time in May 2017 are already having a visible impact in their local areas, as well as on the national debate. Directly elected Mayors provide a single point of accountability for residents and are ambassadors for their areas, with significant potential to boost the profile of their city regions, and help attract inward investment.
Through devolution, the government has sought to strengthen local leadership and institutions, and devolve powers and funding away from Whitehall, so that they are exercised at the right spatial geography.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to extend devolution deals across England.
On 4 May, the first six combined authority mayors were elected for Greater Manchester, the West Midlands, Liverpool City Region, Tees Valley, the West of England and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough – representing 9.5 million people in England.
We have made clear that devolution is an ongoing journey. We agreed at Budget 2017 a ‘minded to’ deal with North of Tyne; a second deal with West Midlands; and further devolution and joint working commitments with Greater Manchester. Furthermore, we are now opening formal discussions on further devolution with the Tees Valley and Liverpool City Region.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will place in the Library the results of the research commissioned by his Department relating to a One Yorkshire devolution deal.
