Proceeding contribution from Iain Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.
Scotland Bill
I know, but I believe I have a better one and I shall turn to it in a moment. The arguments are beguiling. The hon. Member for Vauxhall (Kate Hoey) said that she has correspondence from constituents asking why on the face of it Scottish residents have a much better deal from the UK public purse than people in England. I receive similar letters asking why prescriptions are free north of the border, but there is a charge in England. That issue has to be tackled.
