Proceeding contribution from David Cairns (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 May 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Scotland and the Union.

Scotland and the Union

My hon. Friend, like me, has many constituents who work in shipbuilding on the Clyde. Would he care to speculate about how many aircraft carriers an independent Scotland would need if the Union was broken up and about whether England, as a foreign country, would place its orders for aircraft carriers in an independent Scotland? How realistic does he think that either of those eventualities would be?
