uin	HL17399
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/08/2019 answer text <p>It is for local areas to decide what governance arrangements would be of most benefit and value to their local communities. The costs of such arrangements are critically dependent on local decisions on how the arrangements are operated, including decisions about member allowances and the number and frequency of meetings. Accordingly, as indicated in answer to the Noble Lord's question of 8 July (HL 16984), assessment undertaken by Government has focused on what different models can deliver, and concludes that the mayoral model provides a single point of accountability that allows significant powers and budgets to be devolved to an area.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 07/08/2019 13:31:23 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
