Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Young of Cookham on 5 December 2017 (HL3493), what significant increase in the decision-making powers for the devolved administrations they are considering; and whether they will retain any of the powers returned from Brussels which are currently vested in the devolved administrations.

Answer

The Government is working closely with the devolved administrations to determine where common approaches will and will not be required in the future. The Government is clear that none of the existing decision-making powers of the devolved administrations will be taken away and that it expects an increase in the decision making powers for the devolved administrations as a result of this process.
