Mr Toby Perkins

Labour — Chesterfield

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 December 2024

Debate

English Devolution

Contribution

Derbyshire already has a mayor, but we have a two-tier authority. If we cannot get agreement on the size of the unitary authority, will Derbyshire and similar authorities still hold elections next May, and how will my hon. Friend break the impasse if those at county level want one Derbyshire and those in the districts want two or three?
