Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

My Amendment 101 would simply place in the Bill the powers to create these convening bodies, which is entirely in line with the Government’s approach. Having this set out in the Bill would be an important statement of the Government’s intent and would provide a framework, perhaps with further guidance for the regions to use to set up these convening bodies.
