Delivering Devolution: Robert Hazell on R4 Beyond Westminster
15 April 2011
As voters in Scotland and Wales prepare to go to the polls, Sheena
McDonald takes stock with a panel of experts of more than a decade of
devolution and asks what it means for the UK as a whole. Highlighting
policies which are strikingly different from those of the government in
Westminster, in Wales she looks at higher education and the decision to
shield Welsh students from large tuition fee increases; in Scotland she
looks at health and patients' benefits such as free prescriptions and
free personal care. What will be the impact of the recent increase in
law making power for Wales and imminent greater tax raising power for
Scotland and what are likely to be the tensions between the different
nations in the UK at a time when public spending is being squeezed?
