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

It is important to put on the record that even under devolution Glasgow clearly gets far less than its fair share from a Scottish Government based in Edinburgh. I have just been to the Shetlands with the Scottish Affairs Committee, and people there feel that they are equally badly treated by Edinburgh. We also need a needs-based assessment within Scotland to stop money disappearing and being sucked down into the black hole that is Edinburgh.
