Abstract
Scottish devolution is advocated as a popular means of securing the Un ion between Scotland and England. If the idea is supported in a refere ndum, a Labour Government is pledged to introduce a Parliament based o n the proposals of the Scottish Constitutional Convention, with a marg inal power to vary levels of taxation. In this article, the authors hi ghlight the proposals and discuss the difficulties of implementation.
