Issue details

In accordance with the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009, the consent of each Constituent Council and the Combined Authority is required to the draft Order.
The Constituent Councils are the City of Bradford MDC, Borough Council of Calderdale, the Council of the Borough of Kirklees, Leeds City Council and the Council of the City of Wakefield.
The draft Order reflects the “minded to” devolution deal and Scheme and includes the expected functions and supporting legislation, with exception of those matters already noted by the Combined Authority and the Constituent Councils at their meetings in November 2020.
The Government proposed some very minor amendments to the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (Election of Mayor and Functions) Order 2021. No substantive amendments were proposed by Government; the amendments are minor and for technical purposes or clarification only.
