Angela Rayner will promise to make devolution the “default setting” for councils across the country after senior Government figures warned they could overrule local authorities’ objections to push through key building plans.
In a speech to regional leaders, the Deputy Prime Minister will vow to push power out of Whitehall and into the hands of people with “skin in the game” across a range of policy areas including housing.
The Government’s devolution White Paper will be published on Monday, which Ms Rayner has said will ensure regional powers are “no longer agreed at the whim of a minister in Whitehall”.
