Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.


Scotland Bill

I think that the Secretary of State is confused. He has talked of basing the figure on a single year, which was the worst year, and has said that there would not be an £8 billion shortfall. Of course he is right, but no one has ever said that. We are talking about the cumulative impact had the Bill been in operation between 1999 and 2011-12, not 2014-15. I am disappointed, because the Secretary of State is normally fair, but on this occasion he has failed even to understand the argument that has been advanced against him.
