Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.

Scotland Bill

The hon. Gentleman is making an important point about the aspirations of the Scottish people. He also made an important point about the financial position. Is he arguing that £800 million—or a similar figure, whatever it might be—was spent in Scotland over the past decade and that, had the provisions of the Bill already been in place, it would not have been spent in Scotland? If that is his argument, where did that money come from?
