Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

The proposed new clause in Amendment 187, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Wallace, would put a duty on the mayor of a combined authority or a combined county authority to ensure that information around the authority’s financial affairs is publicised to local communities in an accessible way. It would also require the mayor to publish a plan for how they will engage with constituents on major spending decisions.
