  The greater autonomy of Scotland. Devolution max. There is barely something new done from what I read in the news

    The Scotland Bill is currently working its way through the House of Lords (currently at committee stage) - http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2015-16/scotland.html http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2015-16/scotland.html The Bill recognises the Scottish Parliament and a Scottish government as permanent among UK's constitutional arrangements, with a referendum required before either can be abolished. In addition new powers/control given to the Scottish government include: * The ability to set Income Tax rates and bands * Control over several benefits and removable taxes including Air Passenger Duty and Disability Living Allowance * The right to receive half of the VAT raised in Scotland * Extended powers over Employment Support and Universal Credit
