    Nations and Regions: The Dynamics of Devolution Quarterly Monitoring Programme The English Regions Quarterly Report February 2003 John Tomaney and Peter Hetherington The monitoring programme is funded by the ESRC Monitoring the English Regions Report No. 10 Research supported by the Economic and Social Research Council John Tomaney, Peter Hetherington and Emma Pinkney Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies University of Newcastle Upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK Tel. +44(0)191 222 8016 Fax. +44 (0)191 232 9259 Web: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/curds Title Key issues The last quarter was dominated by the passage of the Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill through the Commons. The Bill completed its Third Reading on January 23rd and now faces a rough ride through the Lords. With the government and country preoccupied by the prospect of war, the fire strike and the ailing economy, the Bill generated barely any attention outside Westminster. Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs placed numerous amendments in 9 meetings of the Standing Committee, focusing mainly on the questions of boundary definition, local government reform and the wording of the referendum question. Virtually all of these were rejected by the government, which, in the face of Opposition criticism, guillotined the Bill’s Third Reading. The Electoral Commission questioned the ‘intelligibility’ of the Bill’s proposed referendum, and this may prove to be one area where the Act will be amended. The potential of the government’s proposal for local government reform to be a source of dissension was demonstrated by the outbreak of hostilities between the North West Regional Assembly and Lancashire County Council.
