Setting the standard

Boris.jpgI'm heading out but take a look at .

Headlined "Boris Johnson to get 'superpowers' if Tories win election" it's a piece about what the paper says could be "the biggest devolution of power to the capital since the Greater London Authority was created a decade ago".

So if the London Mayor were to be the benficiary of more powers under a Tory administration, do we assume that as part of the Tories' "Big Society" agenda, there'd be more powers devolved to Wales too?

Apparently so.

"The policy paper proposals could be in David Cameron's first Queen's Speech as part of a devolution Bill, which might also hand more power to Scotland and Wales.

Tory policy chief Oliver Letwin and Mr Johnson's head of policy Anthony Browne have spent months thrashing out the details, which have now been signed off by the
party leader".

As I say, I'm heading out but feel free to speculate/get into the big tent and wonder out loud what exactly the Conservatives might be proposing.
