Scottish Labour has voted for Holyrood to raise 40 per cent of its own revenue if the country remains in Britain.
The moves were first proposed by a special devolution commission set up in anticipation of the September 18 independence referendum and were ratified at the Scottish Labour Party conference yesterday.
Delegates also voted for powers to increase the top tax rate independently of Westminster.
