Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No 2) Bill.

Finance (No. 2) Bill

I am fascinated. Notwithstanding the fact that the Countryside Agency covers only England, not England and Wales, Scotland has two definitions of ““rural””—one is the Scottish Executive’s, under which 98 per cent. of the land mass and 18.7 per cent. of the people are covered, and the other is the Randall definition relating to sparsity, under which 89 per cent. of the land mass and almost 30 per cent. of the population are covered. Is the hon. Lady really trying to achieve an opt-out for 30 per cent. of the population?
