The Scotland Bill

The Scotland Bill refers to legislative proposals or acts that define and devolve certain powers from the UK Parliament to the Scottish Parliament. Its purpose is to grant Scotland greater autonomy, allowing it to make decisions on areas like education, health, and transportation, while still remaining part of the UK. The Bill clarifies the scope of devolved powers, sets out financial arrangements, and establishes the framework for governance. Essentially, it’s a legal process that enables Scotland to self-govern certain domestic issues, balancing local authority with the overall sovereignty of the UK Parliament.
