Asked by:
Ben Goldsborough (Labour)

Answer

I met with the Leader of Norfolk County Council on 13 November to discuss next steps for devolution in the area. The Government is committed to transferring power out of Westminster and into local communities, with landmark legislation to expand devolution across England. This will devolve further powers to local leaders over areas such as employment support, housing and strategic planning, adult education, and skills to drive economic growth.
