Devolution ‘weakness’ exposed
BREXIT has highlighted “real weaknesses” in devolution, Nicola Sturgeon said yesterday as she urged Theresa May’s de facto deputy to keep all of the UK in the single market.
She spoke out after exchanges with Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington following a meeting of the British-Irish Council on the Isle of Man.
She said: “The Brexit experience has exposed real weaknesses within the devolution settlement that will require them to be worked through and resolved along the way.
“We’ve had heated debates and discussions around power grabs on the devolved parliaments.”
