To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has any plans (a) to review the Scotland Act 1998 and (b) for further devolution of powers to the Scottish Parliament. (179953)

The Scotland Act 1998 is working well to secure the benefits of devolution within the United Kingdom for Scotland. Flexibility has always been contained in the Scotland Act and the Government will continue to be willing to adjust the settlement, using the powers contained within the Scotland Act, in whatever way is appropriate in the interests of good government. We will only make changes that strengthen the stability of the Union.
