The creation of a [[devolved English parliament|devolved English parliament or assembly]], with full legislative powers, akin to the [[Scottish Parliament]] is seen by some as a solution to this problem,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.thecep.org.uk/ |title=Campaign for an English Parliament |access-date=6 November 2004 |archive-date=25 November 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091125174203/http://www.thecep.org.uk/wordpress/conference-2008/blogging-from-the-conference-mike-knowles/ |url-status=live }}</ref> with full legislative powers also being conferred on the existing [[Welsh Parliament]]. The Westminster (United Kingdom) Parliament would continue to meet and legislate on matters of UK-wide competence such as Defence, Foreign Affairs and economic matters with the parliaments of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland legislating locally.
