Better Together leader Alistair Darling has insisted a pledge to devolve more powers to Scotland made before the independence referendum will be acted upon within the timetable.
The former chancellor said in a recorded interview that any of the leaders of the three main Westminster parties who rowed back on the devolution timetable would "pay a heavy price".
Speaking to the BBC, he said: "The agreement reached by the three parties, as far as I'm concerned, is non-negotiable.
"It was promised, it's got to be delivered, and anyone who welshes on that will pay a very heavy price for years to come.
"I believe that it will be delivered, the process is already under way. By the end of January next year you will have a bill ready to go and become an act of Parliament.
"You cannot hold up or delay in any way at all what was promised. The three leaders gave an absolute commitment and I'm confident they will deliver on it."
The pledge, to be signed by the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat leaders, would call on the Government to establish a command paper including the devolution proposals of all three parties by October 30.
Draft clauses for a new Scotland Bill would then be ready by the end of January, with the legislation being delivered by whichever government comes into office at the General Election.
Alex Salmond has accused No campaign leaders of tricking voters Around 1,000 people, including shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander and Scotland's Finance Secretary John Swinney, will be at a special church service at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh on Sunday.
Church of Scotland moderator the Rt Reverend John Chalmers will lead the service, where he will ask Scots to put aside their differences three days after the Better Together campaign won the independence referendum by 55% to 45%.
Politicians from all parties are expected to attend the service where they will light a single candle to symbolise a commitment to work together.
Scotland First Minister Alex Salmond has accused the No campaign of tricking voters into believing the promise of devolution.
Scotland rejected independence with 55% of people voting against it He told STV News: "I suppose I feel sorry for those in the No side who were tricked by Westminster into believing there would be an immediate offer of extra powers, an explicit timescale, the vow that was given to Scotland obviously persuaded some people to vote No at the last minute, and now within 24 hours of the polls closing they start to tear up the commitments."
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has said that promises have been made that now must be kept.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, he said: "If the Scottish Parliament - and probably other devolved assemblies - are to be given new powers, then England has to be a priority as well.
"We cannot have a situation where more and more decisions about Scotland are being taken in Scotland, and yet Scottish MPs come to Westminster and vote on English-only issues, shaping the destiny of health, education, justice, environment and probably taxation, too, in England, potentially against the wishes of most English representatives.
"That would be a travesty of democracy, and would be regarded with fury by the English."
