00:00Currently making its way through Parliament are reforms in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill.
00:09What does that mean? Well, if passed by MPs, these reforms would hand more power to city mayors across England
00:19and could see the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, have a greater say on how pubs, bars and nightclubs in the capital are run.
00:29Hand him more control over running key road routes in the city and provide him with powers to set up new development corporations.
00:40This would be in an effort to support building work and regeneration plans.
00:45Devolution Minister Miata Fandula told the Commons this bill will secure the biggest transfer of power out of Whitehall to our regions and communities in a generation.
00:59She added, giving the Mayor of London a say over how pubs, bars and nightclubs are run in the capital could help them to thrive.
01:09However, Conservative Shadow Minister Paul Holmes accused ministers of introducing complexity at a moment when the public want simplicity and clear lines of responsibility.
01:23Not an ever-changing maze of institutions.
01:26Since this particular bill was first tabled, the government has launched a bid to expand the bill's scope in London so the capital's Mayor would become what's been described as a statutory consultee for licensing applications.
01:44Not an ever-changing actuality, but I don't have to be engaged in the right mailing list of the number of platforms.
01:47But it could be a little bit, I really think this bill will be beneficial for it and I think it is...
01:48I hope you know it's super tough for it and I'm doing a little bit.
01:48Too much fun.
01:49You know it's really nice.
01:50I've been friends and friends.
