Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
As a London Member of Parliament, I welcome the part of the Bill that delegates considerable extra powers to London government across the board. We tried to bring in many of these things during the passage of the Bill that set up the Greater London Authority in the first place. Will the Secretary of State continue, over the course of this Parliament, to take the attitude that, where possible, we can continue to devolve power both to regional government, which is what the GLA is, and to local government?
