In the Levelling Up White Paper the Government committed that by 2030, every part of England that wants one will have a devolution deal with powers at or approaching the highest level of devolution and a simplified, long-term funding settlement.
We thank Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland for their proposals and their work on this to date, which we are considering.
