Proceeding contribution from Lord Sarwar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scotland's Constitutional Future.
Scotland's Constitutional Future
I broadly welcome the Secretary of State's statement. Clearly the SNP won a mandate for a referendum, but now that it has won that mandate it is no longer the SNP's or Alex Salmond's referendum, but Scotland's referendum, because Scotland's political future is way more important that any political party or individual politician. So does the Secretary of State agree that all political parties, and civic society, must come together in the best interests of the people of Scotland and decide when that referendum should take place?
