the Commons between England and the rest of the UK. If, as I expect and

hope, Scotland stays within us, I think we should devolve power within

England, look at the constitutional arrangements, because it has

developed in a kind of incremental way that England has to organise and

decentralised from London to its wider regions.

If there is a Yes vote there will be a pressing need to ensure greater

Westminster control. Of course, the fate of the rest of the UK is in the

hands of Scotland. Now living in Glasgow, Beryl Fisher

controversial. Both Labour and Plaid Cymru have spoken out against them

this use. We asked all 22 Welsh councils if they directly employ
