The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to give London boroughs a greater role in pan-London governance.

Answered by Jim McMahon

The Government remains committed to engaging local authorities, including London Borough Councils, and the wider local government sector on the detail of our reforms set out in the English Devolution White Paper. As part of this process, it will be important to consider London’s unique devolution settlement, including drawing on existing ways of working between the Greater London Authority and London Boroughs.
