Economic Affairs Committee Call for Evidence - Fiscal devolution in England

The Economic Affairs Committee has launched an inquiry into fiscal devolution in England.

They are seeking evidence on how fiscal devolution might work, the governance arrangements needed to support it and distributional consequences.

This could significantly affect tax and spending in local areas. Local authorities are currently responsible for purchasing the majority of social care in England, so this could directly affect social care funding.

You can find the call for evidence here. It is open until 5 June 2026.
