Question to the Home Office:
What oversight he has of the consultation to merge the role of West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner with that of West Midlands Mayor.
The Government supports the second devolution deal for the West Midlands which envisaged incorporating the role and powers of the PCC into the Mayoralty.
A two-stage public consultation is being carried out locally to seek views on the transfer. The conduct of the consultation is a matter for the West Midlands Combined Authority.
