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

There are forms of words that can be accepted, tabled and selected and forms of words that cannot. I stand by the amendment, because it is important to challenge the Bill in areas in which we do not believe it comes up to scratch, and it would appear that many of our concerns are shared among the parties. To have a dry, sterile debate about the words in the amendment rather than its substantive nature does the Labour party no good. That is the only time I have been partisan in my entire speech, and I will stick to that.
