Answer from Hansard
The Minister for Local Government and English Devolution (Jim McMahon)
The English devolution White Paper, due by the end of the year, sets out how we will transfer power from Westminster to people who know their areas best. The White Paper will also announce measures that will give local places and communities greater control over shaping their area.
