Business of the House

I know that the Conservative party is finally in a phase of modernisation, but I believe that it was once known as the Conservative and Unionist party. I realise that the right hon. Gentleman’s observations may somewhat reflect the rather poor performance that the Conservative party has achieved in Scotland in recent years. I suspect that were he standing here he would not make quite the same observations about the important contribution made to the United Kingdom by those from north of the border—would he, Mr. Speaker? Obviously, the whole question of the changing of clocks and alignment with other European countries is one that the Government take very seriously, as they do Scotland.
