Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Mark Lazarowicz (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 4 July 2006 on behalf of the Scotland Office.
Private Sector Employment
- Question
- I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for pointing out how Scotland gains from its Union with the rest of the UK. Does he agree that those figures show how Scottish business would be put at risk if it were forced to endure four years with a destabilising referendum on breaking up the UK hanging over its head?
- Answer
-
I find myself in complete agreement with my hon. Friend and, indeed, with the Fraser of Allander Institute’s study on exactly that question, which made clear the profound risks that other parties would choose to run with the very stability that has been the foundation of our sustained economic success under Labour since 1997.
