Devolution Economics: Can local decision making strengthen Britain’s economies?
In May 2026, two UK nations—Scotland and Wales—face general elections in their devolved assemblies. These elections, together with local elections across England (including in London), raise the possibility of a significant increase in devolved policymaking. In both Scotland and Wales, parties with proposals to devolve power much further are leading in the polls. In England, city regions are gaining powers. To anticipate this change, we invited experts and politicians with a first-hand experience of devolution to debate how the future for Britain’s nations should look – what are the benefits of increased devolution, and are there any risks?
