History

The Hull and East Yorkshire devolution deal was announced on 22 November 2023. [1] The deal proposes to devolve certain powers, i.e. housing, transport, education and skills as well as environmental matters to HEYMCA. [3] [4] [5] The consultation by the constituent councils received significant support in favour of the HEYMCA. [6]

In March 2024 it was decided to replace the local enterprise partnership for the combined authority's area with a Business, Growth and Skills Hub, and board member vacancies for the hub were advertised in July 2024. [7] A business board for Hull and East Yorkshire was formed in November 2024. [8]

A decision by the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government is required to allow the creation of the combined authority to proceed, [7] followed by secondary legislation to set out its powers, duties, and governance arrangements. The two councils involved have given their approval to present the final draft order for the creation of the combined authority before Parliament, with East Yorkshire doing so in May 2024 and Hull in June. [9] The plans were announced by Jeremy Hunt in the 2023 Autumn Statement. [10] If the plans are approved, it is hoped that the combined authority would be formally established in autumn 2024. [11] Following the 2024 general election, the newly elected Labour Government agreed the plans on 19 September 2024. [12] Draft statutory instruments to establish the combined authority were laid before parliament on 27 November 2024. [13] [14]

The mayor will be a member of the Mayoral Council for England and the Council of the Nations and Regions.

Membership

The combined authority board is made up of the directly elected Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, two members from each of the constituent authorities and up to four non-constituent members. [15]
