Mr Paul Kohler

Liberal Democrat — Wimbledon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 April 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that the Tories’ amendment (a) would do nothing and that it is actually just a tick-box exercise that would allow Lords amendment 42 to pass with the Minister just having to have regard to a report? Why did the Tory party not vote against the amendment? There are many that did not pass. Why did they not vote against this amendment from Lord Banner?
