Devolved, reserved and excepted matters (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

• In the United Kingdom, devolved matters are the areas of public policy where the Parliament of the United Kingdom has devolved its legislative power to the national assemblies of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, while reserved matters and excepted matters are the areas where the Parliament retains exclusive power to legislate. The devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have been granted power by the Parliament under their respective legislators in all areas except those which are reserved (or excepted in the case of Northern Ireland). However, because the Parliament acts with sovereign supremacy, it is still able to pass legislation for all parts of the United Kingdom, including in relation to devolved matters. (en)
• 在英國，權力下放事項是指英國國會將其立法權下放給蘇格蘭、威爾斯和北愛爾蘭國民議會的公共政策領域；而保留和例外事項則是英國國會所保留立法權的專屬領域。 蘇格蘭、威爾斯和北愛爾蘭的權力下放行政部門已經在各自立法機關的領導下獲得了議會所在所有領域的權力，但保留領域（或北愛爾蘭情況）例外。然而，由於英國國會行使至高無上權力，因此它依然能為英國所有地區立法，其中也包括權力下放事項相關的立法。 (zh)
