The Lord Bishop of Winchester

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2024

Debate

Council of the Nations and Regions

Contribution

My Lords, given that the UK Government have recognised the distinctive identity of the Cornish through the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, can the Minister say whether there are any plans to recognise that identity within the Council of the Nations and Regions, irrespective of whether they vote for a mayor? I note that the Cornish do not take kindly to being called English.
