Communities secretary James Brokenshire has called on the next Prime Minister to publish a Green Paper on a new deal between local and central Government. In what sounded like a farewell speech to the Local Government Association conference, Mr Brokenshire admitted 'the world looked different when I began this speech' and added: 'It's difficult for me to be expansive and set out fresh policies.'

It means delivering a new deal for local government, about funding but also a greater sense of shared responsibility for the difference we can all make for our people.'
