The Government is committed to the clear vision and direction that was set out in the Levelling Up White Paper. This includes delivering our mission to empower local leaders and communities through extending devolution across England. The Government has engaged extensively with local authorities in the area and negotiations for a devolution deal for York and North Yorkshire are now in their final stages. The devolution of specific budgets will be subject to agreement through these negotiations.
