Debate
Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) Order 2025Contribution
A fatal Motion would be an unprecedented step by the House of Lords. Similar election delay SIs were laid by the previous Government, with no fatal Motion from the Lords or the Commons. These Motions undermine the convention of the primacy of the Commons and the principle of delegated powers, which have been previously used, as set out in primary legislation.
