What is the difference between devolving from and devolving into?
When something comes into a present state by flowing down from a source, either literally or figuratively, we say "devolve from," as in "customs that devolve from old beliefs." And when the devolving is a downward evolution to a lower state we say "devolves into" (or sometimes "devolves to"), as in "order devolves into chaos."
How many civil servants work for a devolved administration?
In addition, restructures also mean that staff who previously worked for non-civil service agencies now work for the devolved administrations.*** Overall, around 10% of the UK’s 430,000 civil servants work for a devolved administration. The UK Government also employs considerable numbers of civil servants in the devolved nations.
