Minister’s response is not available in the given transcript. I am grateful to the hon. Member for Romford for securing this important debate and raising the question of Havering borough’s place in relation to devolution in Essex. Our reorganisation in Greater Manchester was a bit later, but many still feel that they are Lancashire to their heart even though they are part of the Greater Manchester combined authority. One of the first things we did upon coming into government was change the way county flags are flown from Marsham Street to Parliament Square and New Palace Yard on each county day. The Government have made it a clear mission to extend devolution to all corners of England, while fixing the foundations of local government. A public consultation has been conducted on our proposals to establish a mayoral combined county authority across Essex county council, Thurrock council and Southend-on-Sea city council, as part of the devolution priority programme. Responses are being assessed and I will shortly make a decision on whether to proceed with the necessary legislation. The three existing council areas form the currently proposed footprint for the future devolution of Greater Essex, although boundaries might change in the future if it is locally desired and statutory tests are met. We remain open to discussions with any council across England on its vision for its region.
