Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 January 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

My understanding is that discussions are with the GLA, but I will double-check on that and respond to the noble Baroness in writing. We are putting in place a robust system of overview and scrutiny for the combined authorities. We are also considering, as we discussed with the noble Lord, Lord Bichard, the other day, whether a system of local public accounts committees might also be relevant.
