Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Draft Legislative Programme.
Draft Legislative Programme
The honest answer is that we want to go much further. At our autumn party conference, we will debate a proposal for the same form of constitutional convention for the UK as in Scotland—involving not just politicians but business, the unions and faith groups, among others—so that we can achieve such devolution. That would include thinking through the financial settlement across the United Kingdom. If one believes in a federal United Kingdom, as I have all my years, that must be the consequence.
