Debate
English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
On Amendment 190, I reassure noble Baroness, Lady Janke, that the Government are already taking forward work to expand local revenue-raising tools and fiscal flexibility through the existing non-statutory processes. Noble Lords have mentioned the consultation on the visitor levy for mayors and other local leaders. The visitor levy consultation sets out detailed proposals on how locally raised revenues could be used to support economic growth, including through support for the visitor economy.
