The Government has signalled its intention to hold a plebiscite on directly elected mayors in the autumn. It will require legislation to come through the House. Work is ongoing in my Department to bring a paper to Government. We will make a decision on what options to proceed with on the holding of a plebiscite and I hope to bring that to Cabinet in April.
