	Public referenda on devolution were held in 1997 in Scotland and Wales, and the following year in Northern Ireland. This resulted in the creation a National Parliament in Edinburgh, a National Assembly in Cardiff and a National Assembly in Belfast together with the democratic election of officials to serve within them. The aim was to transfer decision-making powers away from the UK Parliament, whilst still maintaining authority over the devolved institutions.
