Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

The noble Lord knows, because we have had the conversation, that I feel that the order of that wording is a little unfortunate. We will reflect on that because it does look as though it is infrastructure related just to transport. That is not the intention of the Bill. The Bill is intended to reflect that the competences will include local infrastructure and transport. If that local infrastructure relates also to transport, well and good, but it might be other infrastructure. So I will reflect on that and come back to the noble Lord.
