".... MSPs are currently responsible for spending an extraordinary amount of public money. More than two-thirds of public money spent in Scotland is the responsibility of Scottish ministers in Holyrood. In international terms this is remarkably high — Scotland already has a generous devolution settlement as far as spending powers go — in Australia and the US the states are responsible only for about 46% of public spend; in Spain it is 49%; in Canada and Germany it is 63% and in Scotland the IPPR have put it as high as 70%."
