Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will place in the Library the results of the research commissioned by his Department relating to a One Yorkshire devolution deal.

My Department has not commissioned any research relating to devolution in Yorkshire. It is for local leaders to put forward any devolution proposal on an appropriate geography and commanding wide support. We would welcome and consider any such proposal that did not

cut across the Sheffield City Region deal.
