In his preface to the White Paper, the Prime Minister Tony Blair said that "it gives people living in the English regions the chance to have a greater say over the key issues that affect them as well as the power to devise tailored regional solutions to regional problems… this White Paper is about choice. ... England now includes virtually the only regions in the EU which don’t have the choice of some form of democratic regional governance. ...
To give people real choice, a referendum will need to be won in any region before an elected assembly can be established. ... It also gives voters a wider choice than in most PR system. ... Assemblies should be under a statutory duty to exercise their powers with due regard to equal opportunity for all, and to report annually on progress made, to eliminate unlawful discrimination, and to promote equal opportunities for persons irrespective of race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation or religion.
