Anne Main MP, St Albans did not vote.

The majority of MPs voted against requiring combined authorities exercising a devolved function to have regard to any significant direct impact on the population of neighbouring authorities.

MPs were considering the Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill[1][2].

The question rejected in this vote was:

  • That the clause be read a Second time.

The rejected clause in question, new clause 36, was titled : Regard to Neighbouring Authorities and stated:

  • In exercising a devolved function, combined authorities must have regard to any significant direct impact on the population of neighbouring authorities.”.

An explanatory note accompanying the rejected new clause stated:

  • This clause raises the concerns of some authorities which neighbour devolved authorities and ensures that combined authorities which have devolved functions give regard to the possible impact on neighbouring populations, particularly over issues such as transport and health.
