A Bill to establish a mechanism by which the Scottish Government, Scottish Parliament and a majority of Members representing Scottish constituencies may jointly determine further powers and responsibilities to be devolved to Scotland; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons

The bill would set up a formal mechanism for deciding which additional powers should be devolved to Scotland. It requires agreement between the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament, and a majority of UK MPs representing Scottish constituencies, and would amend the Scotland Act 1998 to give effect to that process.
