Proceeding contribution from Eilidh Whiteford (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.
Scotland Bill
The last time I looked, welfare reform and pensions were matters reserved to this House. I certainly contributed to the debates on those matters in this House, and the last time I looked I was a woman. It is sad that when we discussed the uprating proposals in the Pensions Bill, most Labour Members, with a few honourable exceptions, sat on their hands. It was left to just a few of us on the Opposition Benches to oppose the increases proposed by the Government.
