Lord Jamieson (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

The Minister kindly said that she would write to me about funding, but I had two other related questions. First, will all authorities be able to say, “I want to be a foundation authority”, or is that going to be limited in some way? Secondly, if you are a single foundation strategic authority, could you still be forced into a combined authority at a later date?
