Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Gordon Prentice (Labour). It was answered by Lord Browne of Ladyton (Labour) on Wednesday, 5 March 2008 on behalf of the Scotland Office.


Devolution

Question
What recent assessment he has made of powers and functions which might be transferred between the UK Parliament and the Scottish Parliament.
Answer

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has made clear, the time has come to assess how we can strengthen devolution. The cross-border, cross-party Scottish parliamentary review is the right place for that assessment to be made and I am not in a position to prejudge its outcome.
