Devolution: Suffolk
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans she has to include district councils in the Suffolk devolution deal.
Answered by Jim McMahon
In areas of two-tier local government, as is the case in Suffolk, the Government will continue to seek to establish combined county authorities. The Government recognises the vital role district councils play and strongly encourages their involvement in combined county authorities in a number of ways, including non-constituent membership, positions on overview and scrutiny and audit committees, and via local joint working on key issues.
