Devolution Promise

They once vowed to fight devolution claiming it would lead to break-up of the United Kingdom. But 12 years after the Conservative party opposed the creation of the Welsh Assembly, today they announced they'd allow back a new referendum to decide whether it should be given law making powers. Speaking during a visit to the Airbus factory in Flintshire, David Cameron told Wales Tonight he'd also allow his AMs and MPs to campaign for a yes vote in any future referendum. But while the Tory leader appears to have warmed to devolution he warned that it wouldn't be his top priority if elected Prime Minister, saying that would be to revive the economy.
