Dr Ben Spencer

Conservative — Runnymede and Weybridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 November 2025

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

My constituency is on the outskirts of London—we are not in London; we are very much in Surrey—but we suffer from the fact that many decisions that affect my constituents on a daily basis are made in London, often to our detriment, and we have absolutely no control over them. I recognise the strong point my hon. Friend is making, but even if he is able to withdraw from the administrative unit of London, he will not escape negative decision making by the current Mayor of London.
