FORMER Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray is to represent the party on the commission to agree more powers for Holyrood.

Mr Gray, Scottish Labour's finance spokesman, will be joined by another Labour representative on Lord Smith of Kelvin's Scotland Devolution Commission.

It is understood this is likely to be Gregg McClymont, MP for Cumbernauld, Kilsyth & Kirkintilloch East, and Labour pensions spokesman, who played a key role in the party's own devolution commission which reported earlier this year.

The SNP will be represented by Finance Secretary John Swinney and MSP Linda Fabiani, the Conservatives by MSP and former Scottish leader Annabel Goldie and academic Professor Adam Tomkins, and the Scottish Greens by co-leaders MSP Patrick Harvie and councillor Maggie Chapman.

The Liberal Democrats have appointed former Scottish Secretary Michael Moore and former Scottish leader and MSP Tavish Scott.

Welcoming Mr Gray's appointment, Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont said: "Iain will offer a fresh perspective, an eye for detail and strong Labour values which will be valuable assets to this important process."
