Dr Ben Spencer

Conservative — Runnymede and Weybridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 April 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

The Minister will be aware that the election campaigns for the Surrey West and Surrey East unitaries are ongoing as a consequence of this legislation, but we still have not had an announcement on whether we will get a mayor for Surrey. That will be critical for protecting our green belt if the Conservatives do not retain power after the elections. Can she update the House on the importance of protecting our green belt and getting a mayor for Surrey who can do so?
