Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026

Debate

Combined Authorities (Mayoral Elections) (Amendment) Order 2026

Contribution

I am happy to write to the noble Baroness to clarify that point. In conclusion, the instrument is necessary to allow the SV system to be implemented for combined authority and combined county authority mayoral elections. This was a commitment made in primary legislation, and it will ensure that those elected to these positions have a broad base of support from their electorates, which we believe is of particular importance for these single-person executive offices. I hope the House will welcome these regulations, and I beg to move.
