English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
My second amendment, new clause 86, is completely separate. It is about local government, not about identity, counties or anything I spoke about in relation to new clause 85. It is purely about local and regional government, so it is administrative. In the 1960s—once again, because of the Local Government Act 1963—without the consent of my borough, we were taken out of the Essex county council area and placed under what was called Greater London.
