Decision:
Resolved: That the progress be noted and the next steps outlined in paragraph 2.11 of the submitted report be endorsed.
Minutes:
The Combined Authority considered a report of the Interim Director of Policy & Strategy which provided an update on progress towards securing devolution to Leeds City Region.
It was reported that a proposal had been submitted by 18 Leaders as a basis for initiating negotiation. The Government had acknowledged receipt of the Yorkshire proposal but the Secretary of State had not yet formally responded.
In noting the current position, Members endorsed the approach for a One Yorkshire Chief Executives’ devolution sub group of the Yorkshire Leaders Board to progress with the further work outlined in the submitted report.
Resolved: That the progress be noted and the next steps outlined in paragraph 2.11 of the submitted report be endorsed.
