Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 January 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

The third issue is the London Councils grant scheme. Legislation requires that there needs to be a grants programme that is pan London. While it is much more streamlined since the time when I first became Bexley’s leader, it is still a considerable amount of taxpayers’ money per year that the councils might choose to spend differently, if that option was open to them.
