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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what impact assessment the Government has carried out on the Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill; and if he will place a copy of that assessment in the Library.

The Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill is an enabling measure providing for the transfer of existing powers from one public body to another through secondary legislation. Accordingly, an impact assessment is not necessary or appropriate at this point.
