HC 331 - Work of the Scottish Affairs Committee
The 2015 Parliament will see the continuing development of the relationship between Scotland and the United Kingdom as a whole. The Scotland Bill currently going through the House of Commons will devolve to the Scottish Parliament substantial powers over taxation and welfare, increasing both its powers and its responsibilities. Underpinning this transfer of responsibilities will be a revised fiscal and funding framework for Scotland-a crucial part of the devolution process that will give the Scottish Government and Parliament greater financial autonomy and substantially increase their accountability to the people of Scotland. Like other departmental select committees, the Scottish Affairs Commitee is charged with scrutinising the performance of a government department, in its case, the Scotland Office, the "guardian of the devolution settlement" and its relations with the Scottish Parliament. Through this inquiry the Scottish Affair Committee wishes to find out directly from people and organisations in Scotland what key issues we should be looking at in the first part of this Parliament.

Any document that is produced as a Government White Paper must meet the highest standards of accuracy and clarity, and must be totally honest about the risks, alternative possible scenarios and costs involved in Separation. The Committee is concerned that the Scottish Government has shown a propensity to mislead Scottish voters on the likely outcome of some of the negotiations that would be needed for the final Separation agreement ...
House of Commons - Scottish Affairs Committee: The Referendum on Separation for Scotland: A Defence Force For Scotland - A Conspiracy Of Optimism - HC 842
The Scottish Government's White Paper must make absolutely clear the details of both its foreign and defence policies. Much of what has been suggested up to now suffers from a conspiracy of optimism. The most explicit pledges made to date include: that the whole cost of security and defence will be no more than £2.5 billion, that personnel in the armed services will total 15,000 full time and 5,000 reserve personnel, and that the defence force will include "current Scottish raised and restored UK regiments". Will we then have a defence force which is army heavy? An army which is infantry heavy? Or will historic regiments be redesignated as platoons, reserves or non-infantry units? If Faslan...
