Greater London Authority Bill

It is anticipatory and attempts to sort out where the Mayor’s responsibilities, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s responsibilities and the Lord Mayor for the City of London’s responsibilities lie. We will not un-dig this matter with this amendment today. I thank my noble friend Lord Jenkin for referring to what the Lord Mayor of London does. We should be careful that he and the Mayor of London do not tread on each other’s toes. I am grateful for the opportunity to raise this matter and beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 23 agreed to. Clause 24 [General duties of the Mayor with respect to his strategies]: [Amendments Nos. 69 to 71 not moved.] Clause 24 agreed to. Clause 25 [Membership]: On Question, Whether Clause 25 shall stand part of the Bill?
