answer text <p>The six city region mayors were elected for the first time in May 2017, and are already having a visible impact in their local areas, as well as on the national debate. Government is committed to understanding the impact that devolution is having across the country and a series of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms have been developed. These include an independent national expert evaluation panel to carry out consistent analysis of all projects funded through gain share investment funds, as well as local monitoring and evaluation plans.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The situation in Northamptonshire has been developing for some time. However as a result of recent documentation from the external auditor and the Local Government Association, as well as the council’s own publicly available budget documents, it is now appropriate to take a detailed view of the authority to ascertain its compliance with its best value duty.</p> more like this

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>
