Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 April 2026

Debate

Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) (Revocation) Order 2026

Contribution

As I set out at the beginning, the purpose of this Motion is to affirm the importance of our elections going ahead and to call on the Government to ensure that they do so without further delay, disruption or difficulty. Confusion erodes trust in our democratic processes, and this is a problem of the Government’s own making. I ask the Minister to acknowledge this and to ensure that it does not happen again. I beg to move.
