The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Cunningham on 2016-04-25.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what information his Department holds on the amount paid in legal fees as part of the Combined Authority negotiation process to date; and if he will make a statement.

Mr Mark Francois

This Department has not procured any external legal support in the negotiation of devolution deals or the creation of combined authorities, and therefore has not paid any legal fees as part of those processes.
