Communities secretary Greg Clark has supported the proposal to devolve further fiscal powers to London in the wake of the EU referendum.
After the referendum, London mayor Sadiq Khan claimed the ‘genie was out of the bottle’ for more devolution to London.
He said he was not asking for a ‘bigger slice of the pie’ but wanted ‘more control of that pie’.
Mr Clark has now told a national newspaper: ‘I think Sadiq Khan has already shown himself to be a pragmatist that wants to work well with central government, to the advantage of London and the country.
‘I would expect London’s initial devolution to be followed by further powers.’
