Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Friday, 9 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on House of Commons (Participation) Bill.


House of Commons (Participation) Bill

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his kind remarks. I certainly do not wish to cast aspersions. What he has said about Scotland is true, and my party hopes to have the first Muslim Member of the Scottish Parliament. His remarks contrast greatly with words that have been bandied around north of the border, such as ““xenophobic””—on very wrong grounds.
