Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (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
The Secretary of State has made a big issue of a point of law, but in June last year, Professor Stephen Tierney, professor of constitutional theory at Edinburgh university, said:"““The Scottish Parliament has the authority to stage a referendum.””" Does the Secretary of State agree that Scotland's democratic Parliament does not need Westminster's permission for a self-determination referendum, although a generous spirit from the Westminster Government would indeed be welcome?
