Thirty per cent of public expenditure in Scotland is on social security. Not only has it not been devolved to the Scottish Parliament, but there has been no political pressure to do so over many decades of administrative and legislative devolution. This reflects the lack of appeal to politicians and officials of assuming responsibility for this expensive and unrewarding area which (as Northern Ireland has shown) would, under a block-funding system, have in practice to be kept in alignment with UK policies. Some areas of interface remain, notably housing benefit and long-term care, and any movement towards fiscal autonomy for Scotland would require the whole issue to be addressed.
