Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from Emily Thornberry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.

As I understand it, the Scottish National party’s position is for full fiscal autonomy. There is a difference between autonomy and responsibility, as I am sure the hon. Gentleman would agree. Autonomy means a great deal. The amendment that was not selected states

“as Scotland moves to a position in the medium term where the Scottish Parliament and Government are responsible for all revenue raising”.

Does he agree that that is not full fiscal autonomy?
