Petition Action

The Scottish 'Government' should revert to an 'Executive', to clarify its role.

Petition Details

The description of Scotland's devolved administration as a 'Government' causes confusion about its constitutional remit, which has led to considerable over-reach by devolved bodies into reserved matters. This duplication is contentious, costly, and detracts from the good governance of Scotland.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure whether you would like only the name of the Scottish Government to be changed, or whether you would also like a change to its role and powers.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
