Proceeding contribution from Michael Moore (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.
Scotland Bill
I want to nail this nonsense about the £8 billion. Of course it is possible to take one particular year, which happens to be the worst year in the middle of the worst recession since the war, and to make assumptions about a 20-year period on the back of it, but that is complete and utter nonsense. It is not the way the figure should be calculated. I refer the hon. Gentleman to the figures from the Scotland Office, which show a £400 million surplus.
