Vikki Slade
Wera Hobhouse
Steve Darling
Brian Mathew
Manuela Perteghella
Layla Moran
Mr Lee Dillon Mr Paul Kohler Sarah Gibson Freddie van Mierlo Mr Will Forster Jess Brown-Fuller Caroline Voaden Gideon Amos Wendy Chamberlain Liz Jarvis
That this House, while agreeing that the need to devolve more powers in England is acute after the previous government cut local government funding and resources, subverted local democracy and undermined democratic processes, declines to give a Second Reading to the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill because it maintains the overly-centralised approach to devolution championed by the previous government which has failed to give local authorities the powers to determine what is best for their area, weakens parliamentary scrutiny of powers conferred on local authorities, diverts resource away from local services and fails to alleviate the crisis in local government finances, endorses the appointment of unelected officials as an additional layer of unaccountable bureaucracy in decision making, will not enact meaningful electoral reform and risks further local election cancellations, and therefore will not result in an ambitious shift of power from Westminster and Whitehall to communities and individuals so that decisions are made by and for the people they affect.
Sir James Cleverly
Rebecca Harris
David Simmonds
Gareth Bacon
That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill, because the Bill does nothing to empower local communities, but instead contains measures reducing the democratically elected representation of communities and enables the Government to impose local government restructuring on communities, irrespective of local opinion, disregarding local geography and identity; because bureaucratic restructuring of local government will cost money and reduce focus on housing delivery with no evidence that it will deliver better services; because the Bill will lead to greater costs for residents by creating new mayoral precepts, increasing borrowing powers, and raising parking charges on motorists, and adding more local bureaucrats as mayoral-appointed commissioners; and because the Bill will result in higher council tax bills for hardworking families, at a time when local government is facing increased costs pressures due to unfunded rises in employers’ National Insurance contributions.
3. English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill: Programme
No debate (Standing Order No. 83A(7))
