Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scotland's Constitutional Future.


Scotland's Constitutional Future

Will the Secretary of State please pass on our most sincere and deepest gratitude to his right hon. Friend the Prime Minister, because his clumsy and inappropriate steps into the constitutional question have led to thousands of people giving their support to the SNP and the independence cause? There are lots of the Secretary of State's friends on the Front Bench and lots of his Tory friends on the Back Benches—will he encourage them to come to Scotland? The yes to independence cause needs to hear from the Conservatives.
