:''"Calman Plus" redirects here; not to be confused with Full fiscal autonomy, Home rule, or Asymmetric federalism.'' The Commission on Scottish Devolution, ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Coimisean Fèin-riaghlaidh na h-Alba), ), also referred to as the Calman Commission, Scottish Parliament Commission〔(holyrood.com - The Business of Politics - Pro union devolution review launched )〕 or Review〔(Glasgow University chancellor to chair Scottish parliament review - The Daily Record )〕 was established by an opposition Labour Party motion passed by the Scottish Parliament on 6 December 2007, with the support of the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats.〔(The Scottish Parliament - Official Report )〕 The governing Scottish National Party opposed the creation of the commission. Its terms of reference were: "To review the provisions of the Scotland Act 1998 in the light of experience and to recommend any changes to the present constitutional arrangements that would enable the Scottish Parliament to serve the people of Scotland better, improve the financial accountability of the Scottish Parliament and continue to secure the position of Scotland within the United Kingdom."〔 The Commission held its first full meeting at the Scottish Parliament on 28 April 2008 and met at roughly monthly intervals〔(Commission on Scottish Devolution - Minutes of 1st Meeting )〕 during its period of work. It issued a first report on 2 December 2008, and a final report on 15 June 2009. It was accountable to both the Scottish Parliament and the UK Government. The Commission on Scottish Devolution should not be confused with the Scottish Constitutional Commission, which is an independent think-tank. Calman Plus (also called devolution plus, Devo Plus or Devo 2.0) has been advocated by senior Scottish Liberal Democrat politicians, as the next step in deepening devolution. Calman Plus should not be confused with full fiscal autonomy, although neither concept has been definitively defined. ==Membership== The Commission has 15 members,〔(Members of the Commission on Scottish Devolution )〕 including nominees of the three Unionist parties, representatives of business, trade unions, academia and community organisations. *Professor Sir Kenneth Calman (convener); Chancellor of the University of Glasgow (Chairman) *Lord Boyd of Duncansby; former Lord Advocate and Labour peer *Rani Dhir; Director, Drumchapel Housing Co-operative *Professor Sir David Edward; retired Judge of the European Court of Justice *Lord Selkirk of Douglas; former Scottish Office Minister, now Conservative peer *Lord Elder (Murray Elder); member of the House of Lords (Labour) *Audrey Findlay; former Leader of Aberdeenshire Council, now Convener of the Scottish Liberal Democrats *The Earl of Lindsay; former Scottish Office Minister, now Conservative peer and Chairman of the Scottish Agricultural College *John Loughton; youth activist, former Chairman, Scottish Youth Parliament *Murdoch MacLennan; Chief Executive, Telegraph Media Group *Shonaig Macpherson; Chair of the National Trust for Scotland and of the Scottish Council for Development and Industry *Iain McMillan; Director, CBI Scotland *Mona Siddiqui; Professor of Islamic Studies, University of Glasgow *Matt Smith; Scottish Secretary, UNISON *Lord Wallace of Tankerness; former Deputy First Minister and former leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, now Liberal Democrat peer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Commission on Scottish Devolution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
