The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland. Scotland and Wales have recently been granted their own parliaments (the Welsh Assembly is the first ever, the Scottish Parliament the first since 1651). Northern Ireland has had an assembly on and off since its inception in 1921. Of the UK's 57m population, 50m live in England but many of these have their origins in Scotland, Ireland and elsewhere - often former British colonies. |
