The devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have the power to legislate on any issues that affect them.
Correct Answer: False
False. The devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have significant legislative powers, but these are limited to devolved matters — areas such as health, education and housing. They do not have the power to legislate on reserved matters, which remain the exclusive responsibility of the UK Parliament in Westminster.
Reserved matters include defence, foreign policy, immigration, and national security. This division of powers is the core principle of devolution in the United Kingdom.
