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

Scotland and the Union

Speaking as a former deputy leader of the Conservatives in the European Parliament, I can say that as a prerequisite to successfully negotiating accession to the EU, Scotland would have to join the euro. Devolution would mean joining the euro and therefore devolution not from London to Edinburgh, but from Edinburgh to Frankfurt, where important economic decisions affecting Scotland would be made.
