Politicians on Cornwall’s unitary authority have come together on St Piran’s Day to send a letter to central government demanding a tick-boxes for Cornish nationality and proficiency in the Cornish language on the 2031 census.

The letter was sent to Darren Jones MP, the Minister for Intergovernmental Relations, who has responsibility for the UK Statistics Authority.

The leader of the MK Group on Cornwall Council Cllr Dick Cole has commented. “It is to be welcomed that all groups on the unitary authority have come together on St Piran’s Day to sign a letter demanding national recognition on the 2031 census.”

The letter was signed by Council Leader Leigh Frost (Liberal Democrat), deputy leader Adam Paynter (Independent), Dick Cole (Mebyon Kernow), Paul Ashton (Reform UK), Drew Creek (Green), Connor Donnithorne (Conservative), Kate Ewert (Labour) and Rowland O’Connor (Cornish Independent Non-aligned).
