The Minister responded to that proposal in March, explaining that the Government were minded to continue the conversation with the local authority, and indeed with the six Members representing Cornwall’s constituencies, to ensure that we can make some progress on this. I hope that the Minister will reflect on that when she winds up and give us some encouragement that the Government will, as set out in amendments that they are rejecting tonight, ensure that Cornwall is consulted and that Ministers make a proper effort to work with the local authority to achieve maximum devolution.
