Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 March 2025

Debate

Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) Order 2025

Contribution

Both the noble Baroness, Lady Jones, and the noble Lord, Lord Rennard, also referred to local government’s financial situation, and it is that very resilience and financial stability in local government that make this kind of reorganisation essential now. Of course we must sort out the finances; we made a start this year and we will continue that work in the spending review looking ahead.
