Debate
Surrey (Structural Changes) Order 2026Contribution
In relation to Surrey’s share of the capacity funding, Surrey will get the money next year. At the moment, we are discussing with local authorities how it will be split. The noble Lord asked me about the devolution programme for Surrey. This is about the LGR process; there will be a further order around the devolution in due course. Broadly speaking, the powers that go to the foundation authority will be transport, skills and housing. It will be required to draw up a strategic development strategy. We are working with the councils concerned to develop it, as we will in all the areas affected.
