Labour (Co-op) — Truro and Falmouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2026

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

It has led to councils having to refund years of council tax—up to £10 million in somewhere like Cornwall—and central Government having to reimburse councils for future shortfalls.
