English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill: Second Reading

What the vote was about

This division was on the Second Reading of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. The bill aims to give more powers to local authorities, including potential combined authorities, over transport, housing, skills, and economic development. For Cornwall, which already has a devolution deal, further powers could enhance local control over key issues like connectivity, affordable housing, and rural services.
