answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2016 answer text <p>The seven devolution deals that the Government has agreed will give local leaders direct control over the levers of growth in their economies, including new powers and substantial budgets ranging from transport, to adult skills, to long term investment funds. The size of these funds is substantial, for example the West Midlands will receive over £1 billion of additional investment. It will be for mayors and local leaders to set ambitions for growth and job creation as a result of these deals. By giving local areas control over key policies and resources, and making sure that local government more efficient, effective and as possible, devolution deals will give these places the tools that they need to drive forward growth for the benefit of the whole local economy.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 10/02/2016 17:04:09 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
