Proceeding contribution from Lord Browne of Ladyton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scottish Elections 2007.
Scottish Elections 2007
Factually, the hon. Gentleman is incorrect, but it would serve no purpose to point out when there was a full-time Secretary of State and when there was a part-time one. That is irrelevant. The point that he is making is that we should not have a part-time Secretary of State for Scotland. However, the people of Scotland, for whom he purports to speak, are much less exercised by this issue than he is. I suspect that he is making the point for party political purposes, rather than out of any consideration for what is in the best interests of the people of Scotland.
