Levelling up all areas of the country remains at the centre of the Government’s agenda and we remain committed to devolving power to people and places across the UK. Our plans for strengthening local accountable leadership will now be included in the Levelling Up White Paper.

In March, Ministers wrote to local leaders in the North East and Hull & East Yorkshire welcoming discussions on new devolution deals for these areas. We look forward to continuing these conversations over the summer.
