The Labour government has made an impressive start on devolution. More places have devolved powers to deliver on their regions’ priorities, more mayors have control over spending to invest in their places, and Whitehall is coming around to the idea that local leaders should have a larger role to play in driving economic growth.In just two years it has introduced the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act setting out a clear framework for devolution, given some mayors single spending pots through integrated settlements for Mayoral Strategic Authorities (MSAs), established the Council of Nations and Regions and the Mayoral Council to bolster multi-level collaboration, and signalled a willingness to go further on fiscal devolution.
