Proceeding contribution from Russell Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

If there is any disappointment on my part, it is that I have not managed to see the hon. Gentleman's paper. Despite what other Members may think, I have some extremely remote rural areas in my constituency. There are locations in the highlands and islands where people visiting hospital in the central belt are given special payments, but people in my constituency in the extreme south-west of Scotland travel even longer distances and do not qualify for that kind of payment. That is why remote rural areas need to be tightly defined. I suspect that parts of my locality may not be included in his document, but I would be delighted if they were.
