Representatives from the UK’s four nations have met in Glasgow to discuss proposals for devolving more powers to regions and cities, with Burnham saying that no nation should be left behind.
The meeting brought together representatives to consider how decision-making powers could be transferred away from central government and placed more firmly with regional and city authorities. The discussions focused on devolution across the United Kingdom.
The meeting took place in Glasgow and involved representatives from all four nations of the UK. The source material does not provide further details about the individual attendees or the specific powers under consideration.
Burnham’s message was that any future approach to devolution should benefit all parts of the UK rather than leaving any nation behind. The meeting’s outcome and any subsequent proposals were not detailed.
