Answer
The powers to be devolved to cities, counties, towns and districts in the Northern Powerhouse will depend on the proposals brought forward by local areas. The Government recognises that no two places are alike, and that the people who live, work and do business in each place know best what their area needs to prosper and grow. As a result, the powers devolved to different parts of the Northern Powerhouse will vary depending on local circumstances and the proposals brought forward by each area.
