| |
| |
| | |
| | To move the following Clause— |
|
| | | “Duty of Scottish Ministers in relation to European Charter of Local Self- |
|
| | |
| | (1) | Scottish Ministers must, in exercising their functions, observe and promote the |
|
| | principles and provisions of the European Charter of Local Self-Government. |
|
| | (2) | In subsection (1) the European Charter of Local Self-Government means the |
|
| | Charter of the Congress of the Council of Europe signed at Strasbourg on 15 |
|
| | |
| | (3) | In particular, Scottish Ministers shall be placed under a legal duty to consider, |
|
| | when new legislation is introduced to the Scottish Parliament, whether that |
|
| | legislation introduced to the Scottish Parliament conforms to the principle of |
|
| | subsidiarity, as set out in the European Charter of Local Self-Government.” |
|
| | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | The European Charter on Local Self-Government was specifically drafted to protect communities |
|
| | and citizens from centralisation that would reduce or remove these rights. This new clause seeks |
|
| | to place a duty on Scottish Ministers to observe and promote the EU Charter while carrying out |
|
| | their functions. In particular, it would impose a legal duty on Scottish Ministers to ensure that all |
|
| | new legislation allowed for the decentralisation of powers to local communities, in keeping with |
|
| | the principle of double devolution. |
|
| |
| |
| |
| | |
| | To move the following Clause— |
|
| | | “Assessment of the Scottish Parliament having the power to alter the National |
|
| | |
| | (1) | The Secretary of State shall instruct the Low Pay Commission to undertake and |
|
| | publish, within 12 months of the date on which this Act is passed, an analysis of |
|
| | the economic impact of the Scottish Parliament having the power to alter the |
|
| | United Kingdom National Minimum Wage. |
|
| | (2) | The Secretary of State must require the analysis to assess the effects of the |
|
| | Scottish Parliament having the power to alter the United Kingdom National |
|
| | Minimum Wage on the Scottish and United Kingdom economies, with a specific |
|
| | focus on the following areas— |
|
| | (a) | the risks of establishing a two tier minimum wage across the United |
|
| | Kingdom, including an analysis of any possible negative impact on |
|
| | employment conditions for United Kingdom and Scottish workers; |
|
| | (b) | the importance of maintaining the principle of minimum standards across |
|
| | the UK, and the extent to which low pay issues differ in Scotland from |
|
| | |
|
|
| |
| |
|
| | (c) | the Scottish and United Kingdom labour market, in particular the effect |
|
| | of a different level of minimum wage in Scotland on the jobs and working |
|
| | hours of Scottish and United Kingdom workers; |
|
| | (d) | entitlement in Scotland to both devolved and reserved welfare payments; |
|
| | (e) | the possible effects on business investment in Scotland and the rest of the |
|
| | |
| | (f) | any other considerations that would arise from having different minimum |
|
| | wages in communities on either side of the border; |
|
| | (g) | the institutional infrastructure required to establish, monitor and enforce |
|
| | |
| | (h) | the implications for EU Directives on Posted and Agency Workers; |
|
| | (i) | the impact on wage levels in Scotland and the United Kingdom; and |
|
| | (j) | a report on how the National Minimum Wage can rise faster in Scotland |
|
| | and across the United Kingdom to 58% of median earnings or more than |
|
| | |
| | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | The new Clause requires the Low Pay Commission to assess the impact on the Scottish and UK |
|
| | economies of the Scottish Parliament having the power to establish a different rate of the National |
|
| | Minimum Wage (NMW) in Scotland. The analysis includes what institutional infrastructure would |
|
| | be required, the relationship with EU Directives, the long-term impact on wages, and ways to |
|
| | faster increase the NMW, whilst maintaining the principle of the UK NMW framework. |

| | |
| | To move the following Clause— |
|
| | |
| | | “In Part 2 of Schedule 5 to the Act, in section E2, after “Exceptions” there |
|
| | |
| | | “The provision of rail passenger services that are Scotland-only services |
|
| | (and so far as they include other services, include only cross-border |
|
| | services designated by the Scottish Ministers), including the power to |

|
| | |
| | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | This amendment would devolve rail services in Scotland giving Scottish Ministers full powers and |
|
| | flexibility to decide who would run such services. |
