Labour (Co-op) — Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 December 2024

Debate

English Devolution

Contribution

Local government reorganisation is a statutory process, so it requires local areas to produce plans, as does devolution. Both are required to go to public consultation to solicit views—that is part of the process. When the formal process starts, the Government’s role is to assess the proposals and the consultation as submitted. We do not take a view on geography and form until we make the final decision.
