Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| Our plan to devolve power to the regional bodies. I have read that a bill takes 8 months to vote upon, therefore must be put to vote at least eight months before an election. There are 11 months till the next election, but I'll put this forward now, so that there is plenty of time. |
