Intergovernmental relations

Earlier this week I led for Scottish Labour in a debate on intergovernmental relations within the UK.

With the new powers coming via the Scotland Bill it is more important than ever that there is a good working relationship between Westminster and Holyrood.

It is also important that this relationship is open and any discussions transparent as Governments must be fully accountable for decisions they reach.

Scrutiny of Government’s decisions is vital and the public cannot be left in the dark as decisions are made behind closed doors.
