Lewis Cocking

Conservative — Broxbourne

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 February 2026

Debate

Local Government Reorganisation

Contribution

Having decided that elections should go ahead after all, will the Secretary of State join me in congratulating Conservative-run Broxbourne council on defending democracy from day one and never once considering delaying its elections? Will he confirm that this Labour Government will not use the same tactics to delay the next general election?
