Written Question
Devolution
Thursday 22nd January 2026

Asked by: Douglas McAllister (Labour - West Dunbartonshire)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent progress he has made on improving cooperation between the UK Government and the devolved Administrations.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office

This government reset relations with the devolved governments, has delivered record funding settlements for Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and is bringing pride to communities in every part of the UK with our groundbreaking Pride in Place scheme, including in West Dunbartonshire.

My honourable friend’s constituents are best served when both of Scotland’s governments work in partnership, to create jobs and opportunities for all Scots, and that is exactly the approach I have taken in this role.
