UK Ministers must respect devolution Published:

Scottish and Welsh Governments call for fair funding.
The UK Government will undermine devolution if they establish freeports in Scotland and Wales without reaching agreement with devolved governments, according to Scottish and Welsh Ministers.
Despite both devolved governments remaining committed to working with the UK Government, UK Ministers have signalled their intention to move forward without devolved consent and have failed to provide assurances they will not legislate in devolved areas. Scottish and Welsh Ministers will robustly challenge any attempt by the UK Government to legislate in devolved matters.
Ministers are also seeking urgent clarity from the UK Government on joint decision making and funding allocations as UK Ministers have been unwilling to guarantee that funding for ports in Scotland and Wales would match amounts being offered in England.
