Liberal Democrat — Woking

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 October 2026

Debate

Local Government Reorganisation

Contribution

The two local authorities that serve my constituency are due to be abolished next year as part of the first phase of local government reorganisation, and now we hear that Surrey is likely to have a mayor. Will the Minister confirm that the Government will let Surrey choose whether or not to have a mayor via a public consultation and a vote of councillors?
