It was due for an answer on Friday, 5 December 2014. It was answered by Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) on Wednesday, 10 December 2014 on behalf of the Prime Minister.

Devolution: Scotland

Question

To ask the Prime Minister, what discussions he has had with the devolved administrations about the recommendations of the Smith Commission.

Answer

I discussed the Smith Commission with Nicola Sturgeon on 19 November following her election as First Minister of Scotland. I made clear the Government’s commitment to continue to deliver on the vow made by the three pro-UK parties for further powers to the Scottish Parliament and to stick to the clear timetable set out.

I look forward to further discussion with the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales, and the First Minister and Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland on improving inter-governmental working, one of the key recommendations of the Smith Commission.
