Reform UK — Boston and Skegness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 December 2025

Debate

Local Government Reorganisation

Contribution

The Minister is doing a noble job of defending the absolutely indefensible cancellation of further elections, but where is the Secretary of State who just two days ago told this House, I am sure in good faith, that the elections would go ahead? The Minister needs to explain what has changed in the last 48 hours; otherwise, MPs are left with the regrettable conclusion that the Secretary of State inadvertently misled the House.
