In conversation with Anas Sarwar MSP, Leader of the Scottish Labour Party
Twenty-five years after the Scotland Act established the devolved Scottish government and parliament, the future of devolution and Scotland\u2019s place in the union remain contentious issues. The SNP continues to advocate for Scottish independence. Meanwhile, the UK government has pursued a strategy of \u2018muscular unionism\u2019. Scottish Labour has called for a new approach, based on greater cooperation between UK and Scottish governments, and for stronger local government within Scotland. So what does Scotland\u2019s constitutional future hold?\n\nThe Institute for Government was delighted to welcome Anas Sarwar MSP, Leader of the Scottish Labour Party. How can Scottish devolution be strengthened? What might a future Labour government at Westminster mean for relations with Holyrood? And what is Sarwar\u2019s vision for Scotland\u2019s place in a reformed union?\n\nTo discuss these questions and more, Anas Sarwar was in conversation with Dr Hannah White, Director of the Institute for Government, followed by Q&A with the live and online audience.\n\nFollow us on X (formerly known as Twitter) @ifgevents\u202fand join the conversation using\u202f#IfGSarwar.
