'Look increasingly disorientated on Scotland Bill powers'
Speaking after the BBC Scotland Politics Show today, in which Labour's Shadow Scottish Secretary Ann McKechin talked about ideas to devolve responsibility for the Crown Estate, and Deputy Leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson confirmed she was happy to discuss devolving responsibility for Corporation Tax, Deputy First Minister and SNP Deputy Leader Nicola Sturgeon said: "The opposition parties look increasingly disorientated as they try to catch up with the ambition of the people of Scotland to win new job-creating powers for the Scottish Parliament.
"The SNP set out clear objectives in our manifesto, and received an overwhelming mandate on that basis - the other parties would do well to take their guidance and compass from the people of Scotland, so that together we can secure the economic and financial powers we need to boost growth and employment in the Scottish economy."
