Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (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 right hon. Gentleman is making a thoughtful speech and a fine contribution, but I am sure that when he talks to his constituents he will want to ensure that they have the correct facts about this argument. Will he at least acknowledge that there is a debate about relative spending between the rest of the United Kingdom and Scotland? Oxford Economics, for example, found that when unidentified spending is factored in, London and Northern Ireland receive more money than Scotland. Will he at least accept that there is an argument?
