The Scotland Bill 2015–16 () is a Bill of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It sets out amendments to the Scotland Act 1998, with the aim of devolving further powers to Scotland in accordance with the recommendations of the Smith Commission. ==Main provisions== The Bill will give extra powers to the Scottish Parliament and a Scottish government, most notably: * The ability to amend sections of the Scotland Act 1998 which relate to the operation of the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government within the United Kingdom. * Legislative control over areas such as road signs, speed limits, onshore oil and gas extraction, consumer advocacy and advice amongst others by devolution of powers in relation to these fields to the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Ministers. * Management of the Crown Estate in Scotland * Control over several benefits and removable taxes including Air Passenger Duty and Disability Living Allowance * The ability to set Income Tax rates and bands * Extended powers over Employment Support and Universal Credit The Bill recognises the Scottish Parliament and a Scottish government as permanent UK's constitutional arrangements, with a referendum required before either can be abolished. However, according to some commentators, the Bill institutes a weak statutory mechanism, which does not stipulate provisions or guarantees for such a referendum, or makes duties of Crown Ministers in this respect publicly answearable to the Scottish electorate. 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「Scotland Bill 2015–16」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
