Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 March 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

That risks duplication at best, or confusion at worst, with the model that we came up with after taking evidence for a year. If one looks at the Government’s proposals in the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper, one sees that they apply only to those parts of the country within a strategic authority. It seems to me that our model is better than that proposed by the Government in the White Paper.
