Devolved Government

Devolved government refers to the transfer of specific powers and responsibilities from a central government to regional or local authorities. This allows these entities, such as parliaments or assemblies, to make decisions on issues like education, health care, and transportation within their areas. Devolution aims to bring governance closer to the people, enabling regions to address their unique needs and preferences. In the UK, examples include the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Senedd, which have control over various local matters while the UK Parliament retains powers over key national issues like defense and foreign relations.
