🎧 Live at the University of Strathclyde | ’How is Devolution Changing Post-EU?’

‘Devolution looks very different now than it did in 1998.’ Dr Andrew Tickell, Lecturer in Law at Glasgow Caledonian University, hosts this discussion with the Convener and Deputy Convener of the Parliament’s Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee, Clare Adamson MSP and Donald Cameron MSP. On Monday, the Committee held a joint event with Strathclyde University Law School to discuss their report 'How is Devolution Changing Post-EU?' with leading academics and lawyers from across the UK. The Committee found that devolution has changed and now looks “very different” after the UK’s departure from the EU, a key difference being how the regulatory environment within the UK is managed compared to how it was managed within the EU. Recommendations from the report include the establishment of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the UK and Devolved Governments and the development of supplementary agreements on both Common Frameworks and the use of delegated powers by UK Ministers in devolved areas. You can read the report in full here: How Devolution is Changing Post-EU | Scottish Parliament https://digitalpublications.parliament.scot/Committees/Report/CEEAC/2023/10/24/6692fb8e-0bf0-47cd-a1ba-cff461d9395d
