Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Scotland Bill.


Scotland Bill

The hon. Gentleman's history lesson is very interesting, but I am not sure why he sees the new clause as an attack on the Crown. The Crown Estate's money does not go to the Crown; it goes to the Treasury. It was signed over to the Treasury many years ago in exchange for the civil list. The new clause attacks not the Crown but the way in which the money is used, and is intended to secure a better deal for our coastal communities.
