Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitution.

Constitution

My Lords, the noble Lord speaks with great passion. There is no question within the Statement that I have described of the idea of a concordat between local and central government and we need to think carefully about what that should include, but there is a desire for those involved in regions to be able to express their views, to look at services and so on, and a regional committee is a proposal that may enable us to do that. As for powers, I know the strength of feeling in your Lordships’ House; they would be part of the discussions that we need to have.
