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.

Famous quotes containing the word assembly:
“A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
