Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 March 2026
Debate
English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
If, following consultation, we decide to proceed, we have heard a mix of evidence on the role of elected Members versus officials in decision-making, and would want to give more detailed thought to this as part of our proposed wider reforms, and likely through the planned spring engagement. We will of course consult further with my noble friend and other interested members of your Lordships’ House.
