Scotland within the UK

Proceeding contribution from James Paice (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 October 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scotland within the UK.

Does my right hon. Friend agree that one of the holes in the current devolution settlement, as some of us pointed out at the time, is that effectively the Scottish people have representation without taxation? We must ensure that the Scottish Government have not only the power but the obligation to raise some of their taxes, thus increasing their accountability and enhancing democracy.
