Proceeding contribution from Lord Davidson of Glen Clova (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 9 December 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Scottish Parliament (Elections etc.) Order 2010.


Scottish Parliament (Elections etc.) Order 2010

That is certainly an ambition that I would applaud. It is the execution with which I perhaps have a degree of concern. When one has seen what has been done with the Explanatory Memorandum, even a short guide for the increase of understanding by ordinary lay people would help. It is a matter on which we will never know the answer, I suspect. In conclusion, despite the points that I have made in relation to the matter so far, I welcome the useful changes that have been produced by the order, which should enable a more rational, modernised election process in Scotland.
