Business question from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 May 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The right hon. Lady might be aware of the report in The Times last weekend on the work of the City accountants Grant Thornton, and in particular the work of their excellent economist, Maurice Fitzpatrick. The report showed that Scotland would have a surplus of more than £4 billion if it were independent. The UK currently has a deficit of £40 billion. May we have a debate on Scotland's big surplus and the UK's massive deficit?
