Proceeding contribution from Ian Davidson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

Can I clarify what the Minister is saying? Is he saying that the 40% rule would apply not only to referendums in this context but to any future referendum and that the Government would be committed to opposing any 40% threshold for any future independence referendum in Scotland?
