In London, transport is a devolved matter, and the overall state of London’s roads is a matter for the Mayor.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 01/05/2024 12:53:10 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
