STUC calls for No vote devo plans
The STUC wants the pro-devolution parties to bring forward separate proposals for enhanced devolution

The Scottish TUC (STUC) called yesterday for two-thirds of the revenue spent in Scotland to be raised in Scotland in a new plan for enhanced devolution if there is a No vote in September's referendum.

STUC general secretary Grahame Smith said: "While we have not come to a definitive view on recommending a Yes or No vote, it is increasingly clear that there is a strong case and strong public support for building on the current status quo."

The STUC wants the pro-devolution parties to bring forward separate proposals for enhanced devolution in the event of a No vote - and identify a set of proposals on which they all agree.
