In England, work continues to devolve more powers from Whitehall to our cities and regions and the Government is examining the various constitutional issues that arise from further devolution, including the so-called West Lothian Question. For Northern Ireland, work continues to ensure that the devolved institutions function effectively.</p><p>The House, and others, will be kept updated and have the chance to contribute to these important discussions.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Mr William Hague question first answered 23/10/2014 15:49:14 answering member 379 label Biography information for Lord Hague of Richmond
