Levelling-up or falling short? The politics and economics of devolution

A discussion exploring whether England is achieving meaningful economic devolution or merely decentralised delivery of national policy.

This event examines the government’s plan for devolution in England, focusing on the shift towards greater control over transport, skills, housing, and economic development funding. It questions whether this represents meaningful economic devolution or just decentralised policy delivery. The discussion will also consider the experiences of Scottish and Welsh devolution to inform England’s future prospects.
