Government Response to the Committee’s Eighth Report: Devolution and Exiting the EU: reconciling differences and building strong relationships

The UK's decision to leave the EU has significant ramifications for the internal constitutional arrangements of the UK. The current distribution of powers between central and devolved governments will be altered by Brexit, potentially placing additional strain on the current constitutional arrangements. Developing processes to both manage and deliver these changes will be a key element to the UK's successful departure from the EU.
