Francesca Dennis Outline, explain and evaluate the responsibilities of the different levels of government in the UK The UK is built up of many different levels of government that all play an essential part in running the country. In this essay I will outline, explain and evaluate the responsibilities of the different levels of government. The first level of government I will explore is central government, which is responsible for developing and enforcing national policies, drafting new laws, signing treaties with other nations and defending the nation. These responsibilities you could suggest are essential for the central government to adhere because if the local governments had control of this crucial role, there could be delays in the development and implementations of decisions as there is a lack of any experience of decision-making at this level and central government has decades of decision-making experience and could do a much better job for the regions without any delay. The central government runs at a national level and is based in the Palace of Westminster in London.
