English devolution underpins this government’s national mission to deliver economic growth for everyone, everywhere, raising living standards across the UK. We are determined to push power out of Whitehall and into the hands of local people who have skin in the game. Norfolk County Council and Suffolk County Council agreed outline devolution deals with the previous government, which were put on hold over the general election. My department is reviewing existing programmes of work, including the Norfolk and Suffolk devolution deals, and will work closely with local stakeholders.
