Deputy First Minister John Swinney has led calls for the legislation transferring new powers to Scotland to be boosted.

Mr Swinney said the package in the Scotland Bill was "a way away from the full implementation" of the recommendations made by the Smith Commission after last year's independence referendum.

He spoke out as MSPs backed a motion noting that a Holyrood committee had found "the Scotland Bill in its current form does not deliver the recommendations of the commission in full".

The motion, which was passed by 105 to 13, urged the UK Government to make changes to its legislation "to give effect to the Smith Commission recommendations".

The issue was raised in the Scottish Parliament a year after Westminster leaders made the "vow" of greater devolution if Scots voted to stay part of the UK.

Mr Swinney recalled: "On September 16 the Prime Minister, and Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg, jointly promised 'extensive new powers' for the Scottish Parliament."

He told MSPs that former Labour prime minister Gordon Brown had talked of "nothing less than a modern form of Scottish home rule" while David Cameron had said that "a vote for No means real change", and that if Scotland rejected independence "all the options of devolution are there and are possible".

Mr Swinney said: "A settlement that leaves under Westminster control over 70% of Scottish tax receipts and 86% of Scottish welfare spending in Scotland cannot remotely be described as 'home rule' or 'near federalism'."

The Deputy First Minister insisted the current legislation "does not implement the recommendations of the Smith Commission in full, not in spirit, not in substance".

He added: "The United Kingdom Government has got to move and move significantly in the course of the passage of the Bill that remains in the House of Commons."

Mr Swinney said: "I invite the Parliament to join me in urging the Secretary of State to engage closely with the Scottish Government to produce amendments that accurately reflect the Smith Commission report and have the support of both governments.

"We know the powers on the Bill fall short of both the vow and the recommendations of the Smith Commission, and will continue to demand that those promises are delivered."

Labour's Claire Baker said: "As things stand at the moment, the Scotland Bill in its current format doesn't meet our expectations.

"It needs to be stronger, it needs to be more reflective of the agreement from the Smith Commission. That it isn't is disappointing."

With the anniversary of the referendum approaching, she stressed it is "important we use this opportunity to look forward".

Ms Baker said: "We are left with two options, one is to continually complain about the Bill, undermining what has been achieved, or more constructively we could propose changes so that we could not just enact the Smith Commission in full but possibly go further."

Annabel Goldie, the former Scottish Conservative leader who sat on the Smith Commission, said: "Let's be clear, this Bill does what it says on the tin.

"It's a major extension of the powers of this Parliament enacting what all parties signed up to in the Smith Agreement."

She added: "Should we close our minds to improving the Bill? No, but we first must identify what changes are proposed and then be satisfied that they are improvements.

"The Secretary of State for Scotland has indicated changes will be made at the report stage of the Bill and has expressly stated he will reflect on opposition amendments."

Miss Goldie said: "The real debate in Scotland has now moved beyond the constitution.

"We cannot be hogtied and pulled back by the separatists on a question answered a year ago and we cannot get bogged down in the separatist neverendum because their efforts to stay stuck in the past are pulling Scotland down and holding Scotland back, and instead of remaining divided over the constitution we should be united about forging a new Scotland."
