Devolution in the UK

Devolution in the UK refers to the process of transferring certain political powers from the central government in London to regional administrations within the UK, such as Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This allows these regions to make decisions on specific issues like education, health, and transportation locally, while larger matters like defense and foreign policy remain reserved for the UK government. Devolution aims to provide regional governments with more control and reflect local needs, but the UK Parliament retains ultimate sovereignty. It is a way to balance national unity with regional autonomy.
