An expert group of economists appointed by the Calman Commission to study financial arrangements between Westminster and Holyrood has concluded that the Barnet Formula is probably not sustainable in the long term but that full fiscal autonomy is only appropriate for independence and not conducive to more accountable devolution.

Today’s report by Professor Anton Muscatelli and his team is a useful contribution to a debate that is at the very heart of what Scotland will become. 

Should we move towards more autonomy, better accountability and towards protecting the Union or Independence?  These are all questions Calman and every Scot should consider and today’s report will add much needed detail to the debate!
