Scotland to get income tax power in devolution shake-up

Scotland is to get more power over setting income tax under the most radical shake-up of devolution since 1999, MPs have heard.

Westminster will cut the UK rate of income tax by 10p in Scotland but this, and the other changes, will not happen before the next UK general election.

With the tax cut, Westminster will make a corresponding cut in Holyrood's share of public spending.
