Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what measurable outcomes were achieved as a result of the two meetings held by the Council of the Nations and Regions since 2024.

At the Council’s first meeting in October 2024, the priorities were inward investment and economic growth. In May last year, the Council principally discussed the opportunities of trade agreements that the UK Government had concluded, as well as the challenges of artificial intelligence.

A key outcome of the second meeting was bringing together, for the first time, the chief data officers of the devolved governments and mayoral strategic authorities in England to identify areas of ongoing collaboration and growth.
