Mayors: South West
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans she has for establishing a mayor for Devon and Cornwall.
Answered by Jim McMahon
In September, the Government confirmed a non-mayoral devolution agreement with Cornwall and to establish a Combined County Authority in Devon & Torbay. These are important first steps for devolution in the region.
We have set out the framework in the English Devolution White Paper so that counties can self-organise to reach a consensus on proposals for their areas.
