Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, if he will bring forward proposals for secondary legislation to devolve further powers on road traffic matters to the Scottish Government.

Although the Government’s attention is focused on the work of the Smith Commission at the moment, in respect of further devolution, and it would be inappropriate to pre-judge the outcome of that process, I can assure the hon. Gentleman that I am happy to work with him in seeking an agreed approach to address this particular issue.
