Require all MPs to publish details of any meeting with any individual or group who is not a constituent.

Devolution

Devolve all legislative powers currently enjoyed by the Scottish Parliament to equivalent devolved Parliaments in England, Wales and (eventually) Northern Ireland. The UK Parliament to retain control over macro-economic, foreign, and defence policy.

Devolution encourages greater diversity across government. There are situations where people in Scotland or Wales face problems unique to these parts of the world, such as harsher snowfall, rural roadways and small island communities.

These interests have historically been served better by localised government, though this is often not understood by people living in London.

Your description above "devolution encourages greater diversity across government. There are situations where Scotland/Wales face problems unique to those parts of the world" I entirely agree with. It sounds as though you are in favour of devolution, but it looks as though your PR is proposing a deletion of that section of the page. Is that an error? Did you mean to replace it with a different proposal?

with kind regards, Paul Robinson

This is superceded by #81, I think.
