MSPS on Holyrood's devolution committee will today (Tues) meet Scottish Secretary David Mundell to press the case for further powers to be transferred to the Scottish Parliament.
The cross party committee produced a unanimous report last week criticising draft legislation based on the recommendations of the Smith Commission.
A Holyrood delegation will be led by convener Bruce Crawford, SNP MSP Linda Fabiani, who was one of her party's negotiators during last year's Smith Commission talks, and Labour's Lewis Macdonald.
Mr Crawford said: "I am pleased that the new Secretary of State for Scotland has found time so early in his new role to meet with this cross-party delegation from the Committee.
"I am looking forward to discussing our balanced and constructive report with him. Given the report was agreed by all five political parties represented on the Committee, I am sure he will take our findings extremely seriously.
A Scotland Office spokesman said: "The UK Government is clear it is committed to delivering more devolved powers through the package outlined by the cross-party Smith Commission.
"We will work to bring forward a Scotland Bill on this basis and ensure the Scottish Parliament becomes one of the most powerful devolved parliaments in the world.
"The Secretary of State has also been clear there will be a full parliamentary discussion of these issues where differing views can be heard."
The meeting will take place at Dover House, the Scotland Office HQ in London.
