Ms Williams, who is vice-chairing the Lib Dems' general election campaign, told activists at the party's conference in Glasgow: "We are four nations distinct with our own ambitions, our own needs and our own outlook. All these nations need a place at the table.

"We need a federal solution in which all four nations are equal partners in charge of their own destiny, as part of one united family - and now is the time to do it."

Home rule failure will fuel independence calls warns Welsh Lib Dem leader

The Welsh Liberal Democrat leader has warned the political parties to fulfil their pledges on further devolution or risk fuelling calls for independence in Wales as well as Scotland.

Kirsty Williams told her party's conference in Glasgow that the desire for more self-rule must be taken seriously in Westminster.

It’s not good enough to only talk about Scottish devolution under the rise of Scottish nationalism.

It’s not good enough just to talk about English votes for English laws under the threat of English nationalism.

I say candidly conference: if that approach continues, then don’t be surprised if the Welsh conclude that it is only by voting nationalist that things will change.

The Liberal Democrats must never let that happen

– Kirsty Williams AM, Welsh Liberal Democrat leader

She also told delegates at Glagow that the UK needs 'a Federal solution in which all four nations are equal partners in charge of their own destiny.'

Wales must have a proper parliament.

One that reflects the will of the people.

One that has the powers to make a difference.

One that shows that devolution really can work.

Our message to the people of Wales is clear: A vote for the Liberal Democrats will be a vote for Wales to have a real say over its destiny.

All parties should back "proper parliament" for Wales says Welsh Lib Dem leader

Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams will tell her party's UK conference in Glasgow that proposals to give the Welsh Assembly significant new powers should receive all party backing. The Silk Commission said important tax raising powers should be devolved to Wales, together with new areas of responsibility, including policing.

Energy, justice, tax varying powers, the list goes on - all will be delivered by the Liberal Democrats. Now is the time for the other parties to step up to the plate. I challenge them to do as Nick Clegg has done and sign up to the Silk Commission's recommendations - so that Wales can speak as one voice Wales must have a proper parliament. One that reflects the will of the people. One that has the powers to make a difference. One that shows that devolution really can work

– Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Kirsty Williams AM

She added that it was important to offer people hope after the divisions caused by the Scottish independence referendum. It was important that the right lesson was learnt from the result in Scotland.

The referendum must be a lesson that people across the UK want more of a say over their future. We must show that change is coming. Independence can't be their only option. The SNP, Plaid Cymru, UKIP - we can't let them divide us. Devolving power is in our DNA - it's what we do. The Liberal Democrats must now take back the devolution agenda.

– Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Kirsty Williams AM
