Every year the LGA political groups nominate Vice Presidents to act as champions for local government in Parliament. They are formally confirmed at the Annual LGA General Assembly every July.
The LGA's Public Affairs and Campaigns team seeks to work closely with this group of MPs, Peers and MEPs. Vice Presidents usually have a strong background in local government and are committed to supporting LGA priorities in Westminster.
The Labour LGA Vice Presidents are:
- David Baines MP (St Helens North)
- Michael Payne MP (Gedling)
- Baggy Shanker MP (Derby South)
- Baroness Debbie Wilcox
- Baroness Rosie Winterton
- Clive Betts MP (Sheffield South East)
- Paulette Hamilton MP (Birmingham Erdington)
- Helen Hayes MP (Dulwich and West Norwood)
- Jim McMahon (Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton)
