Fifth Delegated Legislation Committee

Tuesday 5 March 2019

[Mr Nigel Evans in the Chair]

Draft Greater Manchester Combined Authority (Functions and Amendment) Order 2019

I beg to move,

That the Committee has considered the draft Greater Manchester Combined Authority (Functions and Amendment) Order 2019.

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Evans. The draft order having been before the House for some period—it was laid on 30 January—I do not intend to make any further remarks, except that I commend it to the Committee.

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Evans. I do not intend to exceed the Minister’s brief introduction. We recognise that the Government acted very quickly in bringing the statutory instrument to the House following the request from Greater Manchester. That is acknowledged and appreciated. We do not intend to divide the Committee.

Question put and agreed to.

Committee rose.
