Combined Authorities: Bristol

(asked on 8th November 2016) - View Source

Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress is being made in delivering a combined authority including Bristol City Council and surrounding councils.


This question was answered on 16th November 2016

On 4 July 2016, the three West of England Councils published a scheme, in accordance with the legislation, setting out their proposals for a mayoral combined authority, on which they undertook a consultation ending on 15 August 2016. Subsequently, as statute requires, the councils submitted a summary of the consultation responses to the Secretary of State. The next step in the statutory process is for the Secretary of State to seek the consent of the three councils to the making of an Order, which subject to Parliament’s approval, will establish the West of England Combined Authority and confer new powers on it.
