Answer
The Government wants more areas to benefit from devolution settlements, with new powers that will allow them to play a leading role in delivering growth and bring economic benefit to communities. This is why we are encouraging local authorities to advance discussions on devolution settlements. We will develop further proposals to widen and deepen devolution through the landmark English Devolution Bill and welcome engagement in that process.
