Proceeding contribution from Alex Salmond (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Draft Legislative Programme.


Draft Legislative Programme

I have some sympathy with the points that the hon. Gentleman makes, but does he agree that what is really at stake is the process? The issue is whether hon. Members believe that they can influence the Government in this debate. If they thought that, this would be, for obvious reasons, a hugely important parliamentary occasion. It is one thing to say that the Government’s record is abysmal, but what is it about the process in which we are engaged that has not convinced the hon. Gentleman?
