LETTERS: Red herring of the West Lothian Question

Sir: There is a solution to Labour's worries about the so-called "tartan tax". They could make the extra tax raised by the Parliament allowable against national Income Tax. In effect that would mean a transfer of resources to Scotland from the national budget for specifically Scottish services under democratic Scottish control. That is surely what devolution is about.
