Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the May election results in Scotland and Wales on their relationship with those nations.

This government has been clear since day one that rebuilding the country requires UK-wide delivery, working effectively with all levels of government. Good intergovernmental relations remain a priority and we look forward to working constructively with the new ministers in both Governments. The United Kingdom’s devolution settlements are fundamentally designed to accommodate different political parties leading in different parts of the country. People in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland rightly want to see their governments working together to deliver for them. That’s what we are committed to doing and the Prime Minister expects to convene a multilateral meeting with the heads of the devolved governments in June to continue this work.
