Proceeding contribution from Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 March 2012. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.

Scotland Bill

The Minister used the word mandate, but my noble friend Lord Browne of Ladyton used the phrase ““partial mandate””, which is a new legal concept. I know that the noble and learned Lord and the noble Lord are both distinguished lawyers, but I do not understand the concept of a partial mandate. What does the Minister mean exactly by the 1997 Act giving a mandate? Is it a mandate for any tax powers or for income tax varying powers alone?
