Abstract

Constitutional arrangements in parts of the UK have been transformed by political devolution, but these have evolved piecemeal and insufficient attention has been given to their impacts on the government of the wider UK. With the exception of the Greater London Assembly devolution was principally conceived as being confined to the Celtic nations and, though English representation dominates the government of the UK, little thought was given to England in the process.
