Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 February 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

I thank the noble Baroness and my noble friend for those helpful comments. I want to be absolutely clear that it was not a formal consultation I had on Saturday; it was an informal meeting, but a number of London leaders were there. It was not representative, so I will not pretend it was, but it is clear to me that there is more work to do before moving forward with this. Between now and Report I am happy to meet all those who have spoken in this debate but, for now, I will withdraw Amendment 174.
