Labour’s Shadow Scotland Secretary has said he does not believe more powers should be devolved to Holyrood.He also rejected claims MSPs should have the legal right to set a higher minimum wage.
“The two big devolution parts in Gordon Brown's commission is to England, in terms of individual regions to England, and devolution out of Holyrood into Scottish local authorities and local communities.He was asked if he is persuaded that a Labour Government should devolve more power to Holyrood: He said Holyrood being able to go further on the minimum wage would be promoting existing voluntary schemes:
