Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Sassoon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.
My Lords, let me give a brief response to the noble and learned Lord's question. If we take the example, say, of stamp duty land tax, we have not set out the new tax framework for land tax in Scotland, which will be for the Scottish Parliament to do. We have devolved the policy space. It will be for the Scottish Government to design a new system that suits the requirements of Scotland, which will go through the tax-making procedures of the Scottish Government and the Scottish Parliament. That is exactly the approach which will apply to any new tax devolution proposal. It is as simple as that.
