‘Support’ for English devolution – BBC poll
In the light of this article and the very positive Scottish experience why not support the idea of an English Rural Parliament?
Some 80% of people in England support having more powers devolved to local areas, a poll on devolution commissioned by the BBC has suggested.
The poll also suggested 66% support the idea of allowing only MPs from England to vote on laws in the Westminster Parliament that affect only England.
ComRes spoke to almost 3,000 adults in England by telephone between 17 and 27 October.
The government said it wanted to shift power “into the hands of local people”.
