Business question from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 February 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Following the support of the both the Conservative and Labour parties for yesterday's Scottish National party budget to invest in jobs and freeze council tax, may we have a proper debate about how this House funds Scotland? Yesterday, we also learned that this crowd are prepared to slash— Her Majesty's loyal Opposition wants to slash Scottish expenditure by altering the way in which Scotland is funded. Meanwhile, the Government want to be more direct and slash £2 billion from the Scottish budget. May we have a proper debate to consider all the options, including full fiscal autonomy so that Scotland pays and raises its taxes and spends them in the way that it sees fit?
