Regional Assembly (England)
The regional assemblies of England were a group of indirectly elected regional bodies established under the name regional chambers by the Regional Development Agencies Act 1998. They were abolished on 31 March 2010 and replaced by Local authority leaders' boards. These changes did not affect the directly elected London Assembly, which was established by separate legislation as part of the Greater London Authority.
