Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2026

Debate

Local Government (Exclusion of Non-commercial Considerations) (England) Order 2026

Contribution

I think administrative boundaries take account of rivers generally, so I hope that there being a river in between you would not get in the way of you procuring jointly with your neighbouring area. At some point in the past the Boundary Commission would have taken account of that river and said which area it lies in; as we know, rivers tend to go in and out of different counties.
