Asked by:
Lewis Cocking (Conservative)

Answer

Our ambition is to ensure that every area in England has, or is in the process of establishing, a Strategic Authority by the end of 2027, with Strategic Authorities in place everywhere by the end of 2028. We are continuing to engage with local leaders, including in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, to understand their ambition and how it aligns with the development of the next stage of devolution.
