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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4123", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stockton South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "James Wharton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-02-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-02-10T17:04:09.117Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-02-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Local Government: Devolution"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the average benefit to local economies of devolution deals.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4081", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Evans of Rainow"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Weaver Vale"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Graham Evans"} ], "uin" : "25393"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/449946", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/449946/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
