Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I te 1 o Poutu-te-rangi 1979 he pooti i runga i te Ture o Scotland
I kite te nuinga i te pooti mo te whakawhitinga, engari ko te paepae i whakatakotoria e nga MPs anti-decentralization e hiahia ana kia 40% o te pooti kia pai ki te kore i tae mai na te iti o te haere. I te whakatau a te kāwanatanga kia kaua e whakatinana i te Ture, ka whakatakotohia e nga mema o te Scottish National Party he nekehanga kore whakawhirinaki. I muri i te kōrero ki te Rōpū Liberal kia whakapumautia e tautoko tonu ana rātau i ngā kaupapa kore whakawhirinaki, i te Mane, i te 26 o Maehe, ka whakatakoto te Kaiārahi o te Tautoko, a Margaret Thatcher i tētahi kaupapa i te ata "e kore e whakawhirinaki tēnei Whare ki te Kāwanatanga o Tona Rangatira". I whakarite te kāwanatanga kia tautohetia tēnei kaupapa i te Rāapa 28 o Maehe hei kaupapa whakahee i te wā kāwanatanga.
