英国财政大臣约翰·希利的首份预算将推出一项重大权力下放计划，旨在加强地方政府的财权和自主权。1该方案包括新增15亿英镑的借贷便利——与市长合作制定并持续两年、初期2.85亿英镑的"良好增长"基金用于地方优先事项，以及1.5亿英镑用于帮助地方政府提升能力建设。1此举目的是减少地方对威斯敏斯特的依赖。1
从2028年起，部分所得税收入将直接拨付地方。1大曼彻斯特市长安迪·伯纳姆表示："我正在制止地方领导者向威斯敏斯特伸手乞求。"1
UK Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey's inaugural budget will feature a substantial devolution initiative designed to strengthen local autonomy and reduce dependence on Westminster. 1 The package comprises £1.5 billion in new borrowing facilities developed in collaboration with mayors over a two-year period, an initial £285 million "Good Growth" fund earmarked for local priorities, and £150 million in support to help local authorities build organizational capacity. 1 Beginning in 2028, a portion of income tax revenues will be directed directly to local governments. 1
The devolution strategy aims to empower local leaders by granting them greater financial control and decision-making authority. 1 Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham commented on the shift, stating: "I am stopping local leaders having to go cap in hand to Westminster." 1
The budget announcement comes as Prime Minister Keir Starmer has committed to a four-year defence investment programme that requires full funding. 1
