Devolution Commission: Policies in Practice | Future of the UK and Scotland: The Referendum Debate | Centre for Population Change Connecting Generations in the news | Scoop.it
David Bell and David Eiser examine the financial implications of Scottish Labour proposals for the devolution of certain welfare benefits.  The Scottish Labour Party has proposed further powers for the Scottish Parliament.

This leaves around 40 per cent of spending that could be directly paid by Scottish taxes.
