FIRST Minister Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish TUC accused Westminster yesterday of “watering down” powers promised to the Scottish Parliament after the Con-Dems unveiled new devolution legislation.

Prime Minister David Cameron revealed the plans, which were promised last year before the No vote in Scotland’s independence referendum.

Outlining draft clauses designed to underpin proposed laws based loosely on the recommendations of the Smith Commission, Scotland Minister David Mundell claimed that Scotland would have one of the most powerful devolved parliaments in the world.
