What the vote was about

This division was about a government motion on the Water (Special Measures) Bill, which aims to strengthen regulation of water companies. At stake were provisions to address sewage discharges and improve water quality. For Cornwall, this matters because clean rivers and coastal waters are essential for the tourism industry, bathing beaches, fishing and shellfisheries.
