Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Luke Graham (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 11 July 2018 on behalf of the Scotland Office.
Devolution
- Question
-
As most people in the House know, the Smith commission will have the cross-party commitment to have more devolution from Edinburgh to local authorities, and not to centralise power. What discussions has my right hon. Friend had with the devolved Administration to ensure that that happens?
- Answer
-
As my hon. Friend knows, these matters are devolved, but it is a matter of profound disappointment that, rather than devolving powers on within Scotland, the SNP Scottish Government have become one of the most centralised Governments anywhere in the world.
