Description
Join Dr. David Rogers, the former Constitution and Cabinet Director at the Scottish Government, for a talk and Q&A session on whether the flaws in the devolution settlement are fundamental and how they might be addressed.
In his previous role Dr. Rogers - who recently joined SPS as an honorary fellow - led on devolution, independence and intergovernmental relations during the Salmond and Sturgeon governments through the lead-up to the 2014 referendum to the Covid pandemic and beyond. His involvement in Scottish constitutional policy dates back to 1997 when he worked on the legislation to establish the Scottish Parliament.
