This table needs updating for the 2021 census. It's now more than a decade old. 2A02:C7C:75BE:B300:99FD:EDD4:8AC3:B7DB (talk) 12:06, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The "Direct rule by the UK Government with some sub-regional devolution within a parliamentary constitutional monarchy" in the information box should be changed.

Reason: The devolution is not just sub-regional, but also on a parliamentary level.

In October 2015, the Government implemented changes to the Standing Orders, introducing the "English Votes for English Laws" (EVEL) policy. EVEL addressed the West Lothian Question by granting English and Welsh MPs a more significant role in legislating on matters that exclusively affect their constituencies. Under the new procedures in the House of Commons, the Speaker is required to determine whether a bill pertains solely to England. If it does, and the bill includes provisions applicable only to England or Wales, it undergoes an additional stage before the third reading. At this stage, only English or Welsh MPs can exercise a veto over these provisions during the committee review. The changes do not affect the legislative process in the House of Lords however Leoshuo (talk) 15:04, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Would need a few sources calling that devolution or describing the governance of England in a similar way.

@Chipmunkdavis:@Leoshuo:
There is sub regional devolution in England through the Combined authorities, England is not just ruled at U.K level.[1]
EVEL was scrapped in 2021 as confirmed by this citation and in the article.[2] ChefBear01 (talk) 14:30, 24 November 2024 (UTC) ChefBear01 (talk) 14:30, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the infobox, next to Government, there is a tiny error. The cite isn't correctly placed after 'some sub-regional devolution'. There is a space. 2A0A:EF40:E01:DB01:D4AA:2555:85C0:A869 (talk) 23:41, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
