Proceeding contribution from Jim McGovern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 October 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Banking in Scotland.


Banking in Scotland

I will try not to be. Charges of €50 to visit a general practitioner, €85 per month prescription charges, 25% VAT, 50% income tax and £8 for a pint of beer, which is hard for some people to swallow, are all characteristics of small European countries regularly used as examples by the separatists who want to take Scotland out of the UK.
