A Growth Deal for London
The Deal included proposals to develop a time-limited pilot for a locally-led employment support service targeted at those furthest from work; a digital skills pilot; new incentives to encourage the take-up of apprenticeships; and, the potential transfer of strategic land holdings to London government to promote economic growth and housing development. It follows months of joint work between London Councils, the Mayor and the London Enterprise Panel and marks a significant step towards greater devolution to London.
