Should powers for broadcasting be devolved?

One of the curious facets of devolution post-1998 to the UK’s nations (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) is that while powers for arts and culture were devolved to all three, powers for broadcasting were not. This means that although legislators in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast can have influence over heritage, galleries, music and sport, they have no influence over how the airwaves are governed.

Abstract

One of the curious facets of devolution post-1998 to the UK’s nations (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) is that while powers for arts and culture were devolved to all three, powers for broadcasting were not. This means that although legislators in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast can have influence over heritage, galleries, music and sport, they have no influence over how the airwaves are governed.
