Calman Commission

The Calman Commission was a review conducted in Scotland to examine how the country's devolved government raises and spends money. Established in 2011, it aimed to recommend a fairer way to allocate taxes and public spending between Scotland and the UK government. The goal was to ensure Scotland had more control over its finances while maintaining financial stability and accountability. The Commission's work shaped discussions on fiscal powers, taxation, and the financial relationship within the UK, influencing ongoing debates about Scottish autonomy and self-governance.
