Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench). It was answered on Thursday, 24 January 2008.
Scottish Sovereignty
- Question
- My Lords, although the Question refers to Scotland, does the noble and learned Lord accept that Wales and Scotland are not mere adjuncts to England but are countries and nations in their own right? Whatever the relationship between them and the United Kingdom, reality should start from the bedrock basis that they are nations and countries.
- Answer
-
My Lords, of course, as a Scot, I could find it very difficult to disagree with the noble Lord in any shape or form. Both Wales and Scotland have contributed enormously to the union. We are all stronger for it, and so is the United Kingdom.
