Martin Wrigley

Liberal Democrat — Newton Abbot

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2025

Debate

Local Government Reorganisation

Contribution

I draw attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Talking of localism, district councils provided a useful amount of local accountability. How will the Minister ensure that local accountability continues when the regional identity may be different? May I also ask about the future of towns and parishes, which are not mentioned at all, and neither are national park authorities? How will those be empowered to have more local responsibility?
