Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 273

What this vote was about

The Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 was a wide-ranging Government bill covering planning, housing and local government. When it returned to the Commons on 17 October 2023, the Government moved to disagree with a series of amendments made by the House of Lords. This division concerned Lords Amendment 273, which related to combined-authority mayors taking on the functions of police and crime commissioners. The Lords amendment would have delayed or restricted how quickly such transfers could happen, whereas the Government wanted the power to transfer police and crime commissioner functions to mayors to be available from when the Act took effect. The Government therefore moved to disagree, and the motion passed by 285 votes to 132, removing the Lords amendment.
