Referendum

Wales has said a resounding 'YES' in the referendum on direct law-making powers for the Assembly.

When the last result was declared, all 22 counties minus one - Monmouthshire - backed change. Turnout is provisionally put at 35%.

The final result saw 517,132 vote Yes, and 297,380 say No - a 63.5% winning margin.

The vote will now give the Assembly direct law-making power in 20 devolved areas, such as health and education. First Minister Carwyn Jones told celebrating supporters in the Senedd, the Assembly building in Cardiff Bay: "Today an old nation came of age". Deputy First Minister and Plaid Cymru leader Ieuan Wyn Jones said it marked "the beginning of a new era of Welsh devolution - the decade to deliver for Wales".
