Question 1

Policy makers in UK are House of Commons and House of Lords. House of Commons is name of elected lower house of bicameral parliaments of United Kingdom and Canada, and was historically name of lower house of Ireland and North Carolina. Around equivalent bodies in other countries that were British colonies United States House of Representatives, House of Representatives of Australia, New Zealand and House of Representatives.

In United Kingdom and Canada, Wikipedia, has much more legislative power than upper house of Parliament (House of Lords and Senate, respectively). Leader of majority party in House of Commons usually becomes prime minister. Since 2010, House of Commons of United Kingdom has had 650 elected members. Canadian House of Commons has 308 members.

This has been the running sore in relations that still festers. Parallel 2010 seems to have been decisions on funding and organization of S4C, discussed here.

It's one thing for United Kingdom to make decisions on financing of higher education in England, is another to do so when such decisions profoundly affect decentralized options as well.

It was made by the government seeking the report and then coming up with confusing and contradictory set of announcements about its intention to implement it, while writing in their financial plans the series of compromises with very tangible consequences for other government.
