Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 February 2026. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill.

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

My Lords, I am rarely disappointed by the words of the Minister on matters relating to transport. I am delighted that he concedes that the Blunkett amendment is close to perfection; I think it is. I rather hope that, between now and Report, those of us who want to see Amendment 121A enacted will have a constructive, warm and friendly cup of tea with the Minister to resolve those few words that need to be sorted out so that, on Report, we can achieve a sublime amendment to which everybody signs up.
