The elected leadership of each nation would continue to represent their own members on devolved issues, which include education, housing and health policy, and members will continue to be represented by the full Officer Executive on all other matters. It will only change in two ways; firstly that Presidents in devolved nations will be empowered to directly represent their own members in Westminster, and secondly that where nations will work together on reserved matters a member of the Officer Executive will be assigned to lead on this area of work and seek input from all four nations in doing so.
SUs in England will for the first time have an officer team focused specifically on England, which means dedicated resource for representation on issues that are consistently their priorities, and for more focused member engagement too.
