Gauged supergravities in 5 and 6 dimensions from generalised Scherk-Schwarz reductions

It is shown that the Scherk-Schwarz reduction of M-theory in the Berman-Perry duality invariant formalism to 6 and 5 dimensions reproduces the known structures of gauged supergravities that are normally associated to non-geometric compactifications. The local symmetries defined by the generalised Lie derivative reduce to gauge transformations that exactly match those given by the embedding tensor of gauged supergravity.
