English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill: Reasoned Amendment

Rejected167 ayes · 367 noes

What the vote was about

This division was on a reasoned amendment to the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. The amendment argued against giving the bill a Second Reading, citing concerns about centralisation. Passing the amendment would have stopped the bill's progress. The bill's devolution provisions are directly relevant to Cornwall's desire for greater local decision-making over transport, housing, and economic development.
