The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has had discussions with Sheffield City Council on the proposed change to a Cabinet governance system.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

I have not discussed with Sheffield City Council the measures in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill relating to local authority governance models. I am, of course, very happy to listen to views on all provisions within the Bill as it progresses through Parliament.
