	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2015 answer text <p>There is evidence that having a directly-elected mayor improves economic performance. Fragmented decision-making is linked to poor productivity, and most of the world's greatest cities have strong elected mayors who champion their cities internationally, are directly accountable to the whole city and who can take personal responsibility for dealing with issues like transport, economic development or fighting crime.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Since forming a Combined Authority in 2011, the local councils in Manchester have demonstrated that they work well together and carry out their responsibilities to the people of Manchester effectively. As such, when the combined authority made a compelling bid for further devolution of powers to a Mayor of Manchester, the Government was happy to support their proposals. If other combined authorities come forward with similarly strong proposals the Government would be happy to consider these similarly.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 19/06/2015 13:15:03 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
