Description

The last two decades have seen major changes in the structure of sub-national government within England, with the gradual devolution of powers to a range of new mayors and combined authorities. How should this patchwork of devolution be built upon? Should structures be more consistent across the country? Should further powers be devolved, and – if so – to whom? What steps are required to ensure that this devolved power faces appropriate scrutiny and accountability? 

Speakers:

  • Professor Tony Travers – Director of LSE London and Visiting Professor at the LSE
  • Professor Joanie Willett – Associate Professor in Politics and Co-Director of the Institute of Cornish Studies, University of Exeter
  • Akash Paun – Programme Director, Institute for Government
  • Ed Cox – Executive Director for Strategy, Economy and Net Zero at the West Midlands Combined Authority

Chair: Professor Alan Renwick – Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit
