Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.


Scotland Bill

Notwithstanding the hon. Lady's questions, do I take it from her answers that she sees some potential to remove the obstacle that Labour in Scotland found to minimum pricing? The Labour party's argument was that an increase in only the retail price went straight to the UK Exchequer and did not benefit the economy generally or the Government in tackling some of the consequences of drinking cheap alcohol.
