Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 2) Bill.
Finance (No. 2) Bill
My hon. Friend the Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross (John Thurso) says that he can, so I will let him do so. Tellingly, the hon. Member for Wycombe reminded us why there are no Tory MPs left in the highlands and islands, where they used to represent a broad swathe of constituencies north of the Mull of Kintyre. The hon. Gentleman said that he did not know how much the proposal will cost, but he presumed that it would be a great deal. Why does he hold such a preconception? Why did he not say that he did not know how much the proposal would cost, but that he was prepared to take an objective and fair-minded approach to it?
