THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The vote in the Welsh referendum for more legislative powers has been described as a historic day in the nation's history by first minister Carwyn Jones.
A total of 517,132 people voted in favour compared to 297,380 against.
The result gives Wales powers to pass its own laws in its 20 devolved areas - like Scotland and Northern Ireland - without the approval of Westminster.
Mr Jones said: ''This is a historic day for Wales. It is a clear and concise Yes vote across whole of Wales from the coast to the border.''
Twenty-one out of 22 constituencies in Wales voted in favour of gaining primary law-making powers - with the only No vote coming from Monmouthshire.
Welsh national party Plaid Cymru, which is in a coalition government with Labour, expressed delight at the win. >>> | Friday, March 04, 2011
