Devolution: Scotland
(asked on 29th June 2017) - View Source
Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what issues reserved under the terms of the Wales Act 2017, are devolved to the Scottish Assembly.
This question was answered on 5th July 2017
The devolution settlements across the UK are not identical and instead reflect the unique circumstances and histories of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom. The Wales Act 2017 implements the proposals in the cross-party St David’s Day Agreement and reflects this in the new reserved powers model of Welsh devolution, which makes clear that subjects such as policing and criminal justice, devolved to the Scottish Parliament, are reserved in Wales.
