Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 February 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

My amendment on the health duty would bring the legislation in line with what the Greater London Authority is already successfully doing. Under the Greater London Authority Act 2007, a legal duty was placed on the Mayor of London to produce a strategy that identifies any major health inequalities within the capital region, and it set out how bodies, including the GLA itself or London boroughs, should take action to address those inequalities.
