The Earl of Clancarty (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 January 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

I thank the Minister for her reply and will be very brief. I thank noble Lords for their support for my amendment. The point about the word “cultural” is that it has an important integrity. If we do not have it then something significant will be lost, because what it embraces will get shared out among other things. Finally, the great theme in this debate has been a plea for greater flexibility in collaboration. I agree with so much of what your Lordships have said in that regard. With that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
