The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Stevenson on 2016-02-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with local authorities in Scotland on City Deals.

David Mundell

I have had very useful discussions with almost every local authority in Scotland since last May, where I have discussed a range of matters, including City Deals and their equivalents.

My officials also work closely with bidding authorities to refine proposals and I was delighted to sign the £250 million Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire deal on 28 January.
