Labour — Hyndburn

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 September 2026

Debate

Local Government Reorganisation

Contribution

I welcome the Secretary of State’s statement. Before the summer, I raised the concerns of my constituents in Hyndburn about the proposals for a Pennine-Lancs authority, which could become the most deprived in the country. As Ministers undertake the review, will they look at that issue very closely and consider the perspectives of my constituents?
