U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May must “raise her game” in consulting with the semi-autonomous governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on Brexit, a House of Lords panel said on Wednesday.
The balance of powers between the central government in London and the administrations in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast “should be as far as possible unchanged” after Brexit, the House of Lords European Union Committee said in a report published Wednesday. Meetings of the joint ministerial council, combining representatives of all four, should be made “more effective,” the panel said.
