The SOG met on 9 March. It recognised the significant progress that had been made in developing our propositions and the strength in partnership working. The group also reviewed progress on each of the work streams and preparations for future negotiations with government. A meeting has been sought with senior civil servants to test the government appetite for the 3SC proposals which we hope will be shortly after Easter. In the meantime work streams are deepening and refining their proposals. Work on double devolution continues in parallel, with each area pursuing what works best in particular localities.
