During the independence referendum campaign, we heard Gordon Brown promise that a no vote would result in the devolution of further powers that would ensure that we would get as close to federalism as it is possible to get.
I have a wee supplementary to Mr Brown’s question on business rates. Will the business rates be re-evaluated as part of the business bonus scheme review?
Previously, we had relied on stated cases such as R v Brown, which is of some vintage as it goes back to 1993, when there were no statutory provisions.
However, to pick up on one of Keith Brown’s points, I note that it is also about the damage that was rendered to the communities that gave so much in the creation of industrialisation.
