The second thing I would like to understand is what powers the mayoral authorities will be able to exercise in relation to housing, regeneration and planning. The Minister itemised the housing powers that will be exercised by the East Midlands Combined County Authority, but it is not clear to me what those powers will be in relation to the other mayoral authorities—the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority and the North East Mayoral Combined Authority. What powers will they have? As we do not yet have the English devolution Bill, can we have more precise details of the Government’s thinking?
