The Bishop of Winchester asked a question on government plans to recognise Cornish identity within the future Council of the Nations and Regions on 27th November 2024:
The Lord Bishop of Winchester: My Lords, given that the UK Government have recognised the distinctive identity of the Cornish through the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, can the Minister say whether there are any plans to recognise that identity within the Council of the Nations and Regions, irrespective of whether they vote for a mayor? I note that the Cornish do not take kindly to being called English.
Baroness Anderson of Stoke on Trent (Lab): That threw me, my Lords. I am assured that they will be recognised through their combined authority and will be able to attend future meetings. I will come back to the right reverend Prelate on the other points.
