Consultation Responses
Submission to the Select Committee on Modernisation of the House of Commons; Regional accountability - November 2007
The Governance of Britain green paper suggested proposals to improve democratic accountability and scrutiny of the delivery of public services in the English regions. In light of this the Committee believed that it was important to look at the question of regional accountability. Therefore, the Committee invited submissions on the following areas:
- What models of accountability might work;
- What the role of the House should be in regional accountability; and
- What resources would be needed to make regional accountability work in the House of Commons.
The Association of North East Councils made a submission to this investigation.
