That this House is concerned to read in the Autumn Budget 2026 that the Government is in the final stages of agreeing a new devolution agreement with Surrey, before hon. Members have been consulted and any local authority has voted on any devolution agreement; notes the Government previously said they would never force an area to to have a Mayor; and calls on the Government to ensure that West Surrey Council starts in a financial sustainable position, rather than be overwhelmed by historic debt, cuts of Government grants and underfunding of support for children with special educational needs and disabilities.
