Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 April 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Scotland Act 1998.
Scotland Act 1998
Yes, my hon. Friend is quite correct. I remember the process that the constitutional convention underwent. Initially, there were to be 112 seats, which would have meant that the Scottish Parliament would not be proportional. It was through our arguments that we persuaded the Labour party to add another 17 seats, which allowed the Parliament to be proportional.
