Scotland
The Scottish parliament operates similarly to the UK government with certain legislative and policy-making responsibilities. It is responsible for most of the issues of day-to-day concern such as health, education and training, local government, social work and housing, economic development and transport, law and home affairs, the environment, agriculture, fisheries and forestry, sport and the arts. The Scottish Executive manages a budget of around £20 billion and around 7,000 staff.
The Scotland Office represents Scottish interest in matters reserved to the UK Parliament and promotes the devolution settlement for Scotland.
