English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill Report Stage: New Clause 17

Rejected87 ayes · 321 noes

What the vote was about

This division was on a proposed new clause for the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. The bill aims to decentralise decision-making to local areas, including Cornwall. The new clause addressed how devolved powers interact with existing local government structures and funding formulas. Any change to these rules has implications for Cornwall’s ability to manage its own affairs in areas such as housing and transport.

Why this division is tracked here

Devolution arrangements are critical for Cornwall’s funding and autonomy; this clause could influence them.

How Cornwall’s MPs voted

Positions are recorded exactly as the House of Commons Votes API states them. The Commons records no abstentions: a member who did not vote is shown as having no vote recorded, and a member acting as a teller has no vote counted.
