Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Edwards (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 February 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on Scotland’s Place in the UK.
Scotland’s Place in the UK
As I understand the position of the Labour party in Scotland, it favours the full devolution of income tax powers to the Scottish Parliament. Yesterday, we heard a speech from the 1970s from the hon. Member for Pontypridd (Owen Smith), in the Welsh Grand Committee, in which he said that fiscal devolution was tantamount to destroying the fabric of the British state. Will the hon. Member for Glasgow North East (Mr Bain) explain to the House and the people of Scotland what exactly is Labour’s position on fiscal devolution?
