The Constitution Unit has been closely involved from the start with devolution in the UK. Two of our earliest reports in 1996 were Scotland’s Parliament: Fundamentals for a New Scotland Act, which recommended a reserved powers model for Scotland, adopted in the Scotland Act 1998; and An Assembly for Wales, which recommended primary legislative powers for the Welsh Assembly, eventually adopted in the Government of Wales Act 2006. More recent projects cover options for the design of an English Parliament and the logistics of a Northern Ireland border poll.
