What will devolution mean to the ordinary person, who is to be asked 'Are you in favour of devolution?' Is it not rather like asking a child aged 6, 'Are you in favour of sex?' The child will have heard of it, and will understand that people think it is a good idea, but will not have the slightest conception of what it means.

Hansard, 14 December 1976
