The government is currently in discussions towards city deals for Edinburgh, Stirling and Swansea and is looking forward to seeing proposals from local partners from the Tay Cities and North Wales. Officials are in regular contact with their counterparts from the Scottish and Welsh Governments and local partners to take these discussions forward. It is for Scottish and Welsh Government Ministers to consult their respective legislatures on these deals as far as they relate to devolved matters for which they are accountable.
