Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will list the functions currently carried out by central government departments which will be transferred to local leaders as a result of devolution in England.

The Cabinet Statement on Rewiring the State set out our commitment to a new model of government that we will move to by the end of this Parliament, including the powers that will be transferred to local leaders to support growth and improve public service performance. The Cabinet Statement is available in full on gov.uk here. Full details of the new functions to be devolved from central government to local leaders will be set out in the Rewiring the State Delivery Plan later this year.
