Proceeding contribution from George Howarth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
May I ask the Minister a question about Lords amendment 112? As he will know, there are proposals—which are not universally accepted—for a directly elected mayor for the Liverpool city region. There is some support for them, and I support them in principle. Would the amended provisions make possible the creation of a directly elected city region mayor, but only on the basis that the powers of that person in regard to such important matters as transport, police and fire and rescue services are increased? Otherwise the amendment is pointless.
