Treasury: Mayor of Greater Manchester

Asked by David SimmondsConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 17 June 2026UIN 8186

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether Ministers in her Department have received written representations from the Mayor of Greater Manchester since July 2024.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

All Mayoral Strategic Authorities are encouraged to make formal representations to HM Treasury around fiscal events – the majority of MSAs provided submissions ahead of Autumn Budget 2025, including Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

More widely, HMT ministers regularly correspond and meet with Mayors on a range of issues, including at quarterly Mayoral Council meetings and around fiscal events.
