Unfortunately I don't think the categories are as simple as, say, health or housing or education. An inter city inter region rail network for instance should clearly be a federal responsibility but the same can't be said for suburban rail or country roads. Similarily both the federal and the regional government have taxation powers, and the same is true in different ways for most broad categories.
Personally this resolution seems to be largely committing to the principle of greater regional autonomy not so much the in depth technicalities, which could be dealt with later. If you do want to recommend specific areas the best way to do it is to recommend which parts of the powers of the senate in the constituion should be stricken or amended, because anything not mentioned there is a regional power.
I feel that this should be the last thing that we vote on for this assembly term. If this passes - I feel the Senate should open a constitutional convention to help decide the specifics of each area. This resolution lays out the rough guidelines that our assembly would want in terms of powers in a general sense.
I've started writing a list of powers that is a lot more specific than the list in the resolution (using the Scotland Act, 1998 as a guideline). I've only partially written the "reserved issues" section - and it's around two pages long already...
I can't believe that there is a section in the Scotland Act saying that the UK Government has control over units of measurement...
