Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 March 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

I turn briefly to the amendments tabled by the Minister. Amendments 261 and 262 mean that the extensions of the general power of competence to English national park authorities and the Broads Authority will come into force within two months of Royal Assent. I appreciate the confirmation of this timeline from the Government, and I hope that we will have more overall timelines on government plans in due course.
