And when will KingContinue reading “Enough delay. It’s time for answers on King Street”

I’m looking forward to driving the next stage of devolution. We laid the foundations through the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act, which established devolution by default, introduced the right to request, and delivered £12 billion of integrated settlements alongside new mayoral authorities. The next stage must ensure that every part of the country canContinue reading “I am delighted to be appointed by the Prime Minister as a Minister in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).”
