Ruth Cadbury

Labour — Brentford and Isleworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 November 2025

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

Yes, I will do. I welcome the lane rental measure, which the Government put in the White Paper and is now in the Bill. However, why do the Secretary of State and the Minister not trust other authorities? Why does it apply only to elected mayoral authorities? Would it not be fair for all authorities to be able to use lane rental, which is so important in improving roadworks?
