Debate
English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
My constituents in Heywood and Middleton North are tired of top-down policy making, and I hope that this Bill will be implemented with the backing it needs so that we can finally dismantle the structures that have failed our regions for decades. Further progress in areas such as ending out-of-area private hire vehicle operations would assure constituents such as mine of the Government’s intent, and I look forward to seeing more progress in this area, hopefully in the form of additional primary legislation.
