Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 November 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on Devolution and the Union.


Devolution and the Union

There is almost a point of agreement here. In our proposals to the Smith review, we said:

“As part of any agreement, the Barnett Formula should continue to be used to determine Scotland’s resources during any transitional period”.

We are seeking full fiscal responsibility and in that event there would obviously have to be changes to Barnett.
