智库IPPR North发布报告，支持英格兰市长获得扩大的权力和资金，但同时强调必须建立相应的监督机制。1根据该报告，从2028年起市长将能够保留其地区产生的所得税份额，从2027年起保留商业税率。1IPPR North建议市长保留5%的所得税，这将每年额外转移38亿英镑出白厅。1
报告提出了一系列问责措施。1为加强对市长当局的监督，IPPR North建议建立新的地区审计办公室和高级会计官员职位。1对于伦敦、大曼彻斯特和西米德兰兹等大型市长当局，应建立加强的问责委员会。1IPPR North警告称，"任何一个当局的错误决策或资金管理不善都可能转向公众舆论反对权力下放"，强调监督对维持公众信心的重要性。1这份报告计划于10月28日与政府秋季预算一并发布。1
A new report from IPPR North backs giving England's mayors greater financial autonomy and control, but argues that robust accountability mechanisms must accompany the increased authority.1 Starting in 2028, mayors will be permitted to retain a portion of income tax revenues generated in their regions, while business rate retention is set to begin in 2027.1 IPPR North has specifically recommended that mayors retain 5 percent of income tax, which would channel an additional 3.8 billion pounds annually away from central government.1
The thinktank emphasizes that without adequate oversight, missteps by any single authority could undermine public confidence in devolution itself.1 To address these concerns, the report proposes establishing new regional audit offices and senior accounting officer positions to strengthen supervision.1 For larger mayoral authorities including London, Greater Manchester, and the West Midlands, enhanced accountability committees should be put in place.1 The government is scheduled to publish a white paper outlining these proposals on October 28 alongside the autumn budget.1 Some mayoral authorities, such as Hull, East Yorkshire, and Greater Lincolnshire, have only recently been established, adding another layer of complexity to the implementation of new oversight frameworks.1
