Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 November 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.

I am sure the House will recognise that, but can the Minister help us? If, during the discussions on the fiscal framework, the Scottish Government’s representatives conclude, as they may well do, that they are better off with a block grant based on the current arrangement of the Barnett formula than raising money through the tax powers on a low tax base, and if they do not accept the proposal from the UK Government on the fiscal framework and the Scottish Parliament fails to give legislative consent to this Bill, what is the Government’s plan B?
