Proceeding contribution from Andrew Rosindell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 November 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill.

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

I like a lot of what the hon. Lady is saying, because I believe in communities, towns and villages being properly represented. However, names are important, too. Does she, as a Surrey MP, agree that instead of east Surrey and west Surrey, perhaps west Surrey and south Middlesex would be the correct name for the new authority, because of the area that is traditionally part of the county of Middlesex?
