Alternative Plan for Scotland
The answer to Alex Salmond's reckless gamble.In an interview Sir Menzes Campbell lays out a 7 point plan, if the Scottish people vote No to the referendum in September.
These leads on from his report on the substantial transfer of fiscal and constitutional powers to Holyrood.
• The 2015 Queen's Speech should include provisions to strengthen Scotland's powers.
• Political parties should commit to this in their UK election manifestoes.
• The UK government should look at all options to make the plans a reality.
• The Scottish government should make available its referendum research to inform the Campbell II proposals.
• The Scottish Parliament should ensure Scotland's new fiscal body can cope with further devolved financial powers after a referendum "No" vote.
• The Secretary of State for Scotland should convene a meeting within 30 days of a "No" vote to secure consensus for the devolution of more powers.
• Further devolution of tax powers should be made through a further Scotland Act
The Democrat Home Rule Commission, chaired by Sir Menzies, previously backed a substantial transfer of financial and constitutional power to Holyrood in a report in October 2012.
