Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment Transport and the Regions what plans he has for further devolution of power to the regions. [144307]

No timetable has yet been drawn up for moving to directly-elected regional government. We remain committed to do so, where support is demonstrated in referendums.
