What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has put forward demands for fiscal devolution, increased funding for housebuilding, and more money for core public services, including policing, to the new Prime Minister and Chancellor John Healey. Khan praised the new administration for expanding powers for Mayors, such as the ability to retain a share of income tax and impose an overnight levy on visitors.

Khan argues that further devolution would provide London with the tools and incentives to drive its own long-term growth. This growth, he states, would then be reinvested in the city and help drive the national economy.
