Regional Assembly (England) - The Regional Assemblies

The Regional Assemblies

There was some inconsistency in the naming of the individual assemblies. They were:

  • East of England Regional Assembly (abolished March 2010)
  • East Midlands Regional Assembly (abolished March 2010)
  • North East Assembly (abolished March 2009)
  • North West Regional Assembly (abolished June 2008)
  • South East England Regional Assembly (abolished March 2009)
  • South West Regional Assembly (abolished May 2009)
  • West Midlands Regional Assembly (abolished March 2010)
  • Yorkshire and Humber Assembly (abolished March 2009)

The London Assembly was established as a directly elected body by separate legislation and is part of the Greater London Authority. It continues to exist after the abolition of the eight partnership Regional Assemblies.

Each assembly corresponded to a region of England:

East of
England London South East England South West England East
Midlands West

the Humber North
