Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Greater London Authority Bill.


Greater London Authority Bill

I mentioned the implementation order in my opening remarks. We intend to introduce it as soon as possible after Royal Assent, and it will include membership of the board. As for the Mayor's role, it has been our consistent belief that the board will benefit from the strategic direction of the Mayor as chair. It has also been our consistent view that the board and its functions will help to produce a significant change in waste management operations and recycling performance across London. Ultimately, however, the Mayor's participation is a matter for him. Lords amendment agreed to.
