His response makes clear that whilst we are prepared to consider any proposals, until the Sheffield City Region devolution deal is fully implemented, the Government is not prepared to enter into any discussion about wider devolution arrangements in Yorkshire that would include some or all of the Sheffield City Region authorities. I am in informal discussions with the newly elected mayor for that City Region who is looking to work closely with us to unlock the benefits of devolution – first to implement the 2015 Sheffield City Region devolution agreement.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 10/07/2018 09:40:36 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
