Liberal Democrat — Chichester

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 January 2026

Debate

Local Government Reorganisation: Referendums

Contribution

Our mayoral election in Sussex has been postponed until 2028, but the statutory instrument for the creation of combined authorities is still going ahead, and two elected representatives from each local authority are going to form the combined authority. That means Conservative councillors who have not had a democratic mandate since 2021 will create the combined authority; does my hon. Friend agree that that is the reason why they are holding on and delaying elections?
