Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy has pledged further devolution to create an ‘economic powerhouse' of Scotland's ‘twin cities' of Glasgow and Edinburgh. 

He used his speech in Glagsow to announce plans for a ‘designated Scottish Cities Strategy'.  He has asked Glasgow City Council leader Cllr Gordon Matheson and Edinburgh City Council leader Andrew Burns to work with Andrew Adonis to come up with plan for taking devolution to councils further forward.
