We have been clear that to secure devolution, areas need to make a significant offer to Government on how they will ensure strong, strategic and accountable leadership across a clear economic geography. To date, in line with this, the most ambitious deals have involved the establishment of directly-elected combined authority mayors. However, as shown by the devolution deal agreed in Cornwall in July 2015 a directly elected Mayor is not always a condition.</p><p>The Government’s manifesto committed to &quot;providing clarity across England on what devolution means for different administrations so all authorities operate in a common framework&quot;. We aim to provide local areas with this clarity on how best to take forward their local growth and local industrial strategy ambitions over the coming months, and recognise that mayoral governance will not be suitable in all areas.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 23/01/2018 17:13:48 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
