answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2018 answer text <p>My Department engages continually with different areas, councils and Local Enterprise Partnerships right across the country, on their ambitions and ideas for driving economic growth and productivity and improving local governance. 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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2018 answer text <p>The six city region mayors elected for the first time in May 2017 are already having a visible impact in their local areas, as well as on the national debate. Directly elected Mayors provide a single point of accountability for residents and are ambassadors for their areas, with significant potential to boost the profile of their city regions, and help attract inward investment.</p><p>Through devolution, the government has sought to strengthen local leadership and institutions, and devolve powers and funding away from Whitehall, so that they are exercised at the right spatial geography.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 23/01/2018 17:16:59 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
