On 16 December 2024, the Government published the English Devolution White Paper (the White Paper) that set out its policy direction for devolution and local government reorganisation. It sets a preference "to see all of England benefit from devolution" (the White Paper p24). This would be devolution of powers and funding to mayors of strategic authorities over an assumed "combined population of 1.5million or above" (the White Paper p31).

Areas that would be devolved include new powers to mayors over health improvement, net zero, nature recovery, skills, infrastructure, transport and economic development. These are described in a new devolution framework (the White Paper pp86-90) that government intends to include in forthcoming legislation.
