	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2017 answer text <p>Across Government we are making huge strides towards rebalancing the economy and empowering local government. We have agreed devolution deals with nine areas across England, with a directly elected mayor in place in six of those already. We have also agreed City Region deals with Cardiff and Swansea regions in Wales. These deals are about much more than just funding. They are about strengthening local leadership and giving local communities greater control over the decisions that affect them. However we have invested to support these deals. In English devolution deals we have given areas control over new long term investment funds. In Welsh City Deals we have invested in proposals to support key sectors and drive growth in the local economy.</p><p>As I’m sure the Hon Member knows, the Chancellor of the Exchequer also announced at Autumn Budget 2017 that Government will begin formal negotiations towards a North Wales growth deal.</p><p>Devolution deal announcements can be found in the following links:</p><p>West Midlands: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-midlands-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-midlands-devolution-deal</a></p><p>Greater Manchester: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/devolution-to-the-greater-manchester-combined-authority-and-transition-to-a-directly-elected-mayor" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/devolution-to-the-greater-manchester-combined-authority-and-transition-to-a-directly-elected-mayor</a></p><p>Liverpool: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/liverpool-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/liverpool-devolution-deal</a></p><p>Sheffield City Region: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/466616/Sheffield_devolution_deal_October_2015_with_signatures.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/466616/Sheffield_devolution_deal_October_2015_with_signatures.pdf</a></p><p>Tees Valley: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tees-valley-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tees-valley-devolution-deal</a></p><p>West of England: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-of-england-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-of-england-devolution-deal</a></p><p>Peterborough and Cambridgeshire: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cambridgeshire-and-peterborough-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cambridgeshire-and-peterborough-devolution-deal</a></p><p>Cardiff Capital Region: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/city-deal-cardiff-capital-region" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/city-deal-cardiff-capital-region</a></p><p>Swansea Bay Region: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/611685/Swansea_City_Deal_-_English.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/611685/Swansea_City_Deal_-_English.pdf</a></p><p>I refer the Hon Member to the ONS link below for further information on population figures:</p><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/populationestimatesforukenglandandwalesscotlandandnorthernireland" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/populationestimatesforukenglandandwalesscotlandandnorthernireland</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 18/12/2017 17:30:52 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
