Proceeding contribution from John Robertson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.

What is to prevent a Government in Scotland from borrowing £500 million just before they lost power, to ensure that the incoming Government were saddled with a bill they could not pay?
