Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour Independent) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 January 2012. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on City of Wakefield (Mayoral Referendum) Order 2012.


City of Wakefield (Mayoral Referendum) Order 2012

We need to hear the full story on Stoke-on-Trent. The structure between the mayor and the council was not replicated anywhere else in the country; it was unique. The Stoke system was almost designed to fail and indeed did fail, but it is not the same system as for the other elected mayors.
