Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index England ceased to exist as a separate kingdom with its own governmental system in 1707, when the Kingdoms of England and Scotland merged to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. Though the United Kingdom (which itself replaced the Kingdom of Great Britain following a later merger with the Kingdom of Ireland) has undergone a series of dramatic innovations in the manner in which its regions and nations are governed, with devolved parliaments or assemblies and governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, no devolved administration has to date been created for England, which remains under the jurisdiction on all matters of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and Her Majesty's Government of the United Kingdom. While the government of Tony Blair has hinted at reform of the governmental system in England (along with possible sub-regional entities), no proposals have been made. This article is from Wikipedia.
