Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 March 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

I appreciate that the Secretary of State has offered for Cornwall to be a single foundation strategic authority, which is certainly a move forward, but the point that comes out of that, and the issue that concerns Cornwall Council and all six of Cornwall’s MPs, is that, due to its strong work on devolution, Cornwall already has a large number of the powers that would come with that single foundation strategic authority status. Here is what we are looking for, and perhaps the Minister can assure me.
