Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

On the issue of directly elected mayors, will my right hon. Friend confirm for the record that the unique situation flagged-up in the White Paper in Stoke-on-Trent, which has a council manager and an elected mayor, can be changed in a referendum? Will she confirm that when it comes to choosing the kind of governance that we want in the elections of 2009, the Government will work with all elected representatives in Stoke-on-Trent to find a way forward that fits the particular local governance needs of the six towns of Stoke-on-Trent?
