Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 November 2025

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

This would repeal the sections 113D of LDEDCA 2009 and 52 of LURA 2023. They enable the general power of competence to be conferred on a combined authority or CCA by SI. SIs no longer need to be made because the general power of competence is conferred on all combined authorities and CCAs for all purposes by Schedule 4 (as amended by Amendment 132).
