Scotland Bill

My hon. Friend will remember that in the early 1990s there was a word that was in vogue in what was then the European Community: subsidiarity. Although it is a horrible word, it has a very serious meaning, which is that decisions should be taken as closely to the people as appropriate. Is not that just as relevant to the devolution debate? We should be talking about handing powers from this place not only

to Holyrood, Cardiff Bay and Stormont, but even to places such as Manchester city region, and to local communities beyond.
