Proceeding contribution from Lord McFall of Alcluith (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 October 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Scottish Parliament (Constituencies and Regions) Order 2010.
Scottish Parliament (Constituencies and Regions) Order 2010
Perhaps I may paint a deeper picture for my noble friend regarding the River Clyde. There is a history to that, which entailed patients from my area on the north side of the Clyde going to Paisley. The Argyll and Clyde Health Board at the time decided to impose that. Its very obtuseness and refusal to listen resulted in the demise of that health board and the population being absorbed into Greater Glasgow. That was an example of hostility and lack of identity on both sides of the Clyde. It may be that the pages referred to by my noble friend use that as a case history and the commission said: ““This far and no further””.
