That this House expresses its discontent at the decision to cancel multiple mayoral elections in 2026; notes that on Monday 1 December 2025, two days before the cancellation was revealed in the media, the Government stated in response to Written Parliamentary Question 94117 on Local Government: Essex that there were no plans to cancel any May 2026 elections except in Surrey; expresses its disappointment that the House of Commons has been informed of major policy changes only after they have been reported in the media; and calls on the Government to proceed with the scheduled mayoral elections and to confirm that all other elections due to take place in 2026 will proceed as planned.
