Communities and Local Government, with reference to page 9 of HM Treasury's document entitled Fixing the foundations: Public spending audit 2024-25, published on 29 July 2024, if she will list the (a) name and (b) value of the other small projects that her Department is cancelling.
In response to HMT’s savings commission, MHCLG has agreed £154 million from the department’s budgets. This comprises of several savings options on non-essential spending including:Cancelling the Investment Opportunity Fund, which had not started, saving £122 million;Cancelling the Antisocial behaviour (ASB) pilot programme, which had not started, saving a lifetime cost of £20 million. This Government believes there are more meaningful and better value-for-money interventions that would genuinely reduce incidents of ASB;Reducing funding for legal fees we no longer expect to arise from the previous Government’s approach to extremism by £5 million; and,Savings from the Cambridge Growth programme totalling £7 million, including reduced spend on consultancy activity.
Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of implementing a Hull and East Yorkshire devolution deal.
We want to see devolution extended to every corner of England, and have invited local areas without a devolution agreement to come forward with proposals on a sensible geography.We recognise that in some parts of the country, such as Hull and East Yorkshire, local authorities had already worked with the previous government to develop devolution deals, which were put on hold over the general election.We will work with local leaders, members of parliament and stakeholders, including those in Hull and East Yorkshire over the coming months, to ensure that our ambition for deeper and impactful devolution is expanded across the country.
