High -level discussions about setting up a
constitutional convention after the next election to create a devolution
settlement for the whole of the United Kingdom have begun, a Cabinet minister
confirmed yesterday.
Stephen Crabb, the newly appointed Conservative Welsh
Secretary, who is regarded as one of the key government figures driving forward
the devolution agenda, told Scotland on Sunday the prospect of a UK
constitutional convention in the next parliament had been discussed.

He said was one of the subjects aired in a meeting between
David Cameron and the Welsh First Minister, Carwyn Jones, held at the Royal
Welsh Show last week.
The move is significant with all three parties stating
that they will extend powers to Holyrood and consider further devolution to
Wales, as well
as
looking at how to devolve responsibilities to English regions.
