Scotland Bill

My constituency would be significantly affected if there was a different time zone just down the road from Berwick-upon-Tweed. Does the hon. Gentleman not recognise that in many ways he would make it easier for the UK Government, looking at the matter from an English point of view, to create a time system that was unwelcome in Scotland, because English MPs could say, ““Well, Scotland can do what it likes. We're doing what's best for England””? With the large of number of English MPs, he might finish up with precisely the results that he most fears.
