- Powers were transferred from Westminster to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland Assembly in 1999.

- Devolution is an ongoing process, with additional powers transferred to the devolved bodies since 1999.
- The 2014 referendum rejected Scottish independence but did not resolve the issue of Scotland's constitutionalstatus.
