MORE TAX POWERS

Posted by Jeff Rees on November 23, 2007 9:33 AM | 

Wendy Alexander last night called for financial controls at Holyrood, going further than the Labour leadership has ever done in backing a shift in powers.
Senior Labour figures have argued strongly against adding powers to those decided nearly 10 years ago in the Scotland Act, so this marks a major departure for the party in the wake of its humiliating loss of power earlier this year.
Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP's deputy leader, welcomed her opponent's "conversion" to Scotland taking on more financial powers.

Some people say it is incongruous that Wales was not granted the same powers as Scotland in 1999. Incongruous is defined as - not in keeping with what is correct, proper, or logical.
Wales must be granted the same powers as Scotland now and in the future.
