The Emasculation of UK Foreign Affairs

The Act of Devolution (Scotland Act 1998) clearly leaves foreign affairs with the British Government. Gordon Brown’s pathetic response to the Lockerbie bomber issue will do little to soothe the mounting tension between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland



As this is clearly a foreign affairs issue, it is highly significant that Brown has refused to criticise the actions of Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Secretary.

Just where dose the real power in the UK lay?
