Grand Committees

EDM number 427 in 2004-05, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 20/12/2004.

That this House notes the greater need to promote regions within the United Kingdom in light of the fact that London, Scotland and Wales have their own representative bodies; recognises the English regions' need to be represented adequately in Parliament and the need to hold government accountable for decisions on a local level; and calls on the Government to establish grand committees for each of the English regions with question time sessions to be introduced in the House for each region respectively, so that honourable Members can discuss in more detail issues relating to their locality and ministers can be made more accountable to the region.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
