Most-recent divisions
Each row is one party. The bar shows how its MPs voted relative to a neutral midpoint — to the right = on-side with the majority position, to the left = opposed. The percentage figure is the share of that party’s MPs who took the same side: higher = more whip-disciplined, closer to 50% = a freer vote.

| Date | Motion | Aye | No | Carried |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21 Apr 2026 | English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill: Government motion to disagree to Lords Amendment 2 Aye: Support rejecting the Lords amendment, accepting the government's view that rural affairs need not be named as a standalone legal competency for strategic authorities, trusting guidance and existing powers to protect rural communities. · No: Support the Lords amendment requiring rural affairs to be explicitly recognised in law as a competency of strategic authorities, arguing that without a legal requirement rural areas risk being overlooked by city-focused mayors. | 293 | 157 | Yes |
| 21 Apr 2026 | English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill: Government motion to disagree to Lords Amendment 26 Aye: Support removing the Lords' brownfield-first requirement from the Bill, trusting planning policy guidance rather than primary legislation to protect greenfield land · No: Oppose removing the Lords' amendment, insisting a statutory brownfield-first requirement is needed to genuinely protect green belt and greenfield land from development pressure | 287 | 148 | Yes |
| 21 Apr 2026 | English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill: Government motion to disagree to Lords Amendment 13 Aye: Support rejecting the Lords change, keeping the existing higher threshold and preserving the mayor's authority over council tax decisions with less Assembly interference. · No: Oppose the rejection, backing the Lords amendment to lower the Assembly's amendment threshold and strengthen democratic accountability over the Mayor of London. | 298 | 147 | Yes |
| 21 Apr 2026 | English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill: Government motion to disagree to Lords Amendment 36 Aye: Support rejecting the Lords change, backing the government's position that all English councils should be required to adopt a leader-and-cabinet governance model rather than choosing their own structures. · No: Support the Lords amendment giving councils freedom to determine their own governance arrangements, opposing what critics described as central government imposing a one-size-fits-all model on local democracy. | 289 | 145 | Yes |
| 21 Apr 2026 | English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill: Government motion to disagree to Lords Amendment 4 Aye: Support the government's position that draft guidance on appointments and remuneration is adequate, rejecting the Lords' push for statutory accountability requirements for mayoral commissioners. · No: Back the Lords amendment requiring stronger, legally binding transparency and scrutiny over the appointment of mayoral commissioners, arguing guidance alone is insufficient to prevent unaccountable, expensive unelected roles expanding unchecked. | 300 | 152 | Yes |

Pending — issue-to-service mapping
Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Local Government Reform” → the matching service line on council finance, with the ranked-spend table this section wants) is its own taxonomy job. Council service spend lives on the council pages today; cross-cut by issue here in a follow-on pass.
