Declaration of Perth : ウィキペディア英語版 | Declaration of Perth The Declaration of Perth was a statement made by British Conservative Party leader Edward Heath on May 18, 1968,〔(Four decades on, Declaration of Perth is still fuelling debate ) www.scotsman.com, accessed 24 March 2013〕 at the party conference in Perth, Scotland, which committed the party to supporting some form of Scottish devolution. == Background ==
The Conservative Party in Scotland was traditionally a unionist party. In the late 1960s, support in Scotland for the pro-independence Scottish National Party was growing (seen spectacularly in Winnie Ewing's victory at the Hamilton by-election of 1967). In response the then Labour government set up the Kilbrandon Commission (1969–1973) to draw up its plans for devolution. Prior to Labour's initiative, at the Conservative Party Conference of 1968, held in Perth in Scotland, Edward Heath announced a party policy of support for devolution. Heath then formed a constitutional committee chaired by former Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home. In 1970, this committee produced "Scotland’s Government", a report that recommended the creation of a Scottish Assembly with 125 elected members and powers to initiate and discuss bills. However, the Bills were to require approval of the United Kingdom Parliament.
