Lord Storey – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Storey on 2015-10-22.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what criteria are used to judge City Region bids.

Baroness Neville-Rolfe

There are no prescriptive criteria in place to assess bids from local areas. All deals are bespoke and based on proposals brought forward by local areas which then form the basis for negotiation. The Government will consider submissions from all places that have strong, credible devolution proposals, including governance.
