History
Formed in November 2000, the Convention states that its key objectives are to:
- Establish a devolved Assembly for Cornwall (Senedh Kernow)
- Develop cross-party, cross-sector consensus
- Establish a form of modern governance which strengthens Cornwall, her role in the affairs of the country
- Positively address the problems that have arisen through growing isolation and loss of confidence.
Among its publications are Devolution for One and All: Governance for Cornwall in the 21st Century, The Case for Cornwall: Cornwall's response to the Government's Devolution White Paper, Devolution for One and All: Cornwall Devolution for Prosperity, and Devolution's Future: A New Proposal for Regional Devolution.
