Proceeding contribution from Ian Davidson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.

Scotland Bill

This relates to the Minister's point about the Azores judgment—people in my constituency speak of little else. I want to clarify the important question of transparency. Have the Government provided the Scottish Government with the figures that the Minister has quoted, in order that they can challenge them or produce any additional information? It is important that this debate is conducted not just at the level of rhetoric, but that firm proposals are made with numbers attached. Will the Minister therefore clarify whether there has been an inter-governmental dialogue on these matters?
