PO,

After an extensive fight with the House of Lords, I am happy to bring forward the motions to each devolved government to pass on their rightful authority under this new project. I will additionally present my Land Rights and Principles Statement before the Commons in due time, and will be in contact with all devolved governments on its contents. I commend this motion to you all now, to finish this job.

This division shall end on the 20th of February at 10PM
