ORIGINAL plans for devolution to Scotland included a House of Lords and single-party rule from Westminster. New documents unsealed from the National Archives today show discussions between Harold Wilson, then Labour Prime Minister, and his closest advisors about the need to slow down devolution to Scotland and Wales. They also detail how the Prime Minister thought Scotland was “a bit frightening”.

They detail the need to find “new accommodation” for the unit as well as hiring 24 staff to work on it, alongside other issues such as Lords reform and membership of the European Economic Community (EEC).
