Devolution
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions his Department had with the Ministry of Defence on the implications of devolution prior to Royal Assent to the Scotland Act 1998.
- Answer
-
None. As the Member will know, the Scotland Office only came into existence upon the passing of the Scotland Act 1998.However, defence of the UK and associated industries are very important to Scotland. As such, I intend to speak regularly with the Defence Secretary on range of issues relevant to Scotland, particularly once the implications of the Strategic Defence and Security Review are known.
