SCOTLAND’S new parliament has called for power over energy to be devolved away from Westminster, but was immediately knocked back by the UK Government.
On Thursday afternoon, MSPs voted by 70 to 54 to support an SNP Government motion calling “for all energy powers to be immediately devolved to the Scottish Parliament”. Amendments tabled by all five opposition parties – Labour, Reform UK, the Greens, Tories, and LibDems – all failed to pass.
