Baroness Pidgeon (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 March 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

I thank the Minister for her response, but I think it misses the point. There is a gap in the existing legislation which means that key organisations can simply refuse to attend meetings and to answer questions. That includes organisations such as High Speed 2, London Councils and the Environment Agency. This is about transparency and accountability. I therefore beg leave to test the opinion of the House.
