Reform UK — Romford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 September 2025

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

My friend is making some excellent points. The best example, which is from when this started, is the creation of Greater London in 1965. Ever since then, areas like Romford have been paying money into central London and losing our local control, local identity and local democracy, and it has been costing us an absolute fortune. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Bill is a lot of red tape and bureaucracy and the wrong direction to go in?
