Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) Order 2025Contribution
I turn now to some of the comments made by noble Lords. The noble Baroness, Lady Jones of Moulsecoomb, mentioned the manifesto commitment. Our commitment was to deliver devolution to the fastest possible timescale. Our manifesto was explicit that the Government would seek to widen devolution to more areas, and we are now seeking to deliver our manifesto commitment to the fastest possible timescale, which requires these election delays.
