Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 10 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scotland: Constitutional Future Statement.
Scotland: Constitutional Future Statement
My Lords, I congratulate the Prime Minister and my noble friend on this initiative. Could he help me with something that is causing me some bewilderment? The SNP manifesto, on which it got 45 per cent of the vote, says: "““We will give Scots the opportunity to decide our nation's future in an independence referendum””." In that case, why is this initiative by the Government so unpopular with the Scottish nationalists?
