Proceeding contribution from Michael Moore (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scotland's Constitutional Future.
Scotland's Constitutional Future
There have been a number of months where the prospect of two questions has been bandied around, although when pressed Ministers were unable to answer how one would determine which result to pay heed to if both were given yes votes, particularly if independence got, say, 51% and extra powers got 80%. Apparently, independence would have won. We need a single, clear question, and I am glad that after many months of skirting around this, the Deputy First Minister yesterday conceded that point and said she wanted a single question herself.
