  Scotland Bill - New Clause 39 - Powers of the Scottish Parliament - National Insurance
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted aye to give the Scottish Parliament power over national insurance in Scotland.
  @ MP voted no against giving the Scottish Parliament power over national insurance.
  
  The majority of MPs voted against giving the Scottish Parliament power over national insurance.
  
  MPs were considering the Scotland Bill[1]
  
  The proposed new clause rejected in this vote was titled ''National Insurance'' and stated:
  
  :â(1) Section F1 of Schedule 5 to the Scotland Act 1998 is amended as follows.
  
  :(2) In the illustrations, omit âNational Insurance;â
  
  :(3) In the exceptions, at the beginning insertâ âNational Insurance.â.â
  
  
  The rejected clause would have added national insurance to the list of exceptions from powers "reserved" to the UK Parliament rather than being devolved to Scotland.
  
  An explanatory note accompanying the rejected new clause stated: 
  
  :This new clause would devolve National Insurance to the Scottish Parliament.
