Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) 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
The hon. Gentleman is wrong and he should listen to what I am saying. That imbalance means that English Conservative Members—and, occasionally, some of my hon. Friends—who wish to oppose a Government position find that there is no resonance for that position from a Conservative element in Scotland because they are not here. They have not gained representation from the first-past-the-post system and that is the real difficulty.
