House of Commons division

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill: motion to disagree to Lords Amendment 98

Passed287 ayes · 150 noes

What the vote was about

This division was on a motion to disagree with a Lords amendment to the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. The amendment would have added new requirements for local consultation and consent before devolution deals could be imposed. At stake was whether Cornwall, which has its own devolution deal and a directly elected mayor, would have stronger safeguards ensuring local communities have a say in future changes to their governance arrangements.

Why this division is tracked here

Devolution directly affects Cornwall's governance, funding and local powers; changes to England-wide devolution impact Cornwall's future settlement.
