SCOTTISH ministers vowed yesterday to introduce an outright ban on airguns and tighten the drink-drive limit if, as expected, new law and order powers are transferred to Holyrood in the wake of the Calman Commission report.
Sir Kenneth Calman will unveil the recommendations from his commission into devolution today. He is expected to call for the Scottish Parliament to be given control over policy areas including airgun licensing and drink-drive and speed limits in a wide-ranging report which is also likely to recommend further tax-raising powers for Holyrood.
