Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 January 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

As I said, London’s devolution settlement has served Londoners well for 25 years, striking the balance between the executive authority of the mayor and the scrutiny of the assembly. However, I look forward to working further with Members before Report on anything that we need to do as far as the Bill is concerned. With these explanations, I ask that these amendments are not pressed at the moment.
