This panel will explore the evolving landscape of devolution in the UK following the 2024 general election. The discussion will focus on recent developments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as the potential for further devolution in England and the role of metro mayors. Key topics will include reflections on the recommendations of the Brown Review, the challenges and opportunities arising from the new Westminster government’s initial actions – such as the creation of a Council of Nations and Regions – and the broader implications for territorial governance and the Union.
