Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 22B

What this vote was about

This was a further round of the exchanges with the House of Lords over the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill. Lords Amendment 22B was a revised attempt to let councils hold meetings virtually, giving councillors discretion to attend and vote at meetings online or in hybrid form rather than only in person. The Government maintained that local democracy should take place face to face and asked MPs to reject the amendment. MPs voted 292 to 177 to disagree with the Lords, so remote and hybrid council meetings were not written into the Bill.
