Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 February 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

On moratorium periods, the Bill as drafted will see all moratoriums for council governance models reduced to a period of four years. However, this amendment seeks to retain the existing periods—currently 10 years for governance models adopted through public referendum. Reducing all periods to four years will create a consistent framework for all moratoriums.
